Elderly Comforted By Warming Glow Of "Television"

While the kids are busy texting, what are old people doing? Watching TV: "The networks still preach adults 18-49, but the Big Three are all expected to post median ages above 50 this fall — with Fox not too far behind. According to a recent study by former Magna Global EVP Steve Sternberg, the broadcast networks as a whole have once again grown older than ever. The five broadcast nets' average live median age this year — in other words, not counting DVR usage — was 51." Popular old-people shows include "Dancing With The Stars," "Deal Or No Deal," and "The News."
