Community Access TV Channels Remain Valuable
ByReports on the death of TV viewing are premature according to this latest report from the Nielsen Company. Released on November 24th, the report has some particularly interesting info about the video viewing habits of the average person in the U.S. Table 1 indicates Americans spend 143.5 hours/month watching TV at home while watching video on the Internet at home or office accounts for only 2.5 hours/month. In other words, people watch video on their home TV nearly 60 times more often than they watch video on the Internet.
While Dakota Media Access will be “ramping up” over the next year to deliver more content via the Internet, our cable access channels clearly remain an incredibly valuable tool for delivery of our local programming.
