So it should be no surprise that Cancadians are yes- watching less TV - but in the convetional way. With i-players they can download and watch any programmes in their own time- and that has yet to be researched. The truth is that TV still draws viewers- especially the news because all of us from all countries are still tied to the tradition of watching nightly news. The challenge for broadcasters and especially news programmes is to produce content that will continue to attract viewers- especially as 24hour rolling news and updates on all our internet servers like Yahoo and Google do it so much faster.
