From Nielsen:
According to Nielsen’s first-quarter 2016 comparable metrics report, TV is still the preferred choice for overall viewing, and is the most heavily consumed platform among adults of all ages. TV continues to play a role in shaping our experiences of live historical events, as consumers continue to watch television as they watch history unfold. In fact, Live+DVR/time-shifted TV viewing accounts for 47% of the total average audience among adults 18+. Millennials ages 18-34 use TV connected devices over six hours per week, while adults 18-49 spent over 14 hours each week on their smartphones.
