BBC NEWS REPORTS

Are young people pursuing other interests?
Fewer young people are watching television, according to a report by the media watchdog Ofcom.

Between December 2003 and December 2005, total TV reach declined but the biggest fall was among young people - it fell by 2.9% for 16-24 year-olds.

During 2005, reach declined by 2.2% in that age group.

Reach is defined as at least 15 minutes of consecutive TV viewing in a week. Industry figures say the decline could be due to the growth of the internet.

Brian Greene Comments: or as David Bowie put it “…And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They’re quite aware of what they’re going through…”

White headphones & mp3 phones, personal DVD and gaming. If the TV product looks like pop idol sounds like billy idol and they’re not bone idol they will find the off switch. “you are the weakest link…..” etc.

Or perhaps they are saying “no” to the drug of the nation.. television.
