You can watch tv programs via streaming services. Youtube ABC News channel has 16.7 million subscribers. Clips of those shows can be found all over social media.
There's a reason the current administration wants consolidation. It's to control the narrative. The same reason their rich supporters buy up news media companies.
There are independent YouTube channels routinely pulling 10x prime time ABC News numbers. Not just 1 or 2, more like thousands. The world has moved on.
I mean you can blatantly see who's watching this garbage by tuning in. The primetime ads are adult diapers, dementia pills and retirement financial products.

TV is dead so who cares if it consolidates. In fact, consolidation is probably the only way it staves off complete collapse for a few extra years.
The average age of a Fox News, CNN or MSNBC viewer is 60+.
The median 20 year old NEVER watches TV.

Measurable, double digit swings based on which counties got TV ads in a $70m vs $10m spending campaign.
Seems totally legit!
Harris+Biden spent $770M on TV ads while Trump spent $350M.
How about 2016? Clinton spent $400M on TV ads while Trump spent $125M.
How'd that go for them? Really seeing those double digit improvements.
Different campaigns, you're comparing a presidential general election to a senate primary.
You're also ignoring superpacs in those presidential runs. You know how many NRA sponsored ads about "her emails" I saw in 2016?
TV is far less dead than often assumed.
Also ignoring how much other nation states spend on them.

Are all those age groups on their death beds? Older people vote in larger numbers don't they?
