TV Still Occupies Two Thirds of Adult Screen Time

The new Video Consumer Mapping (VCM) study for the Council for Research Excellence (CRE) by Ball State University's Center for Media Design (CMD) finds that younger baby boomers (age 45-54) consume the most video media, and confirms that traditional live television remains the "800-pound gorilla" in the video media arena. In addition to the revelation that consumers in the 45-54 age group average the most daily screen time (just over 9 1/2 hours), the VCM study found the average for all other age groups to be strikingly similar at roughly 8 1/2 hours, although the composition and duration of devices used by the respective groups throughout the day varied.
