Schedules

[tobyaw]

I find it quite eye-opening how many people are complaining about the television schedules having changed this weekend. In this world of online streaming and virtual box sets, do that many people actually watch broadcast television? And if so, why?

Of course, maybe they don’t actually watch live television, but just want to complain about it anyway.

Possibly — but they haven't put them on iPlayer either. They've held off until it's been broadcast.

I just checked and people watch more live TV than I expected. See bottom of page 8 here:

(iPlayer would come under Broadcaster Video On Demand — BVoD)

Bottom of page 10 is 16-34s, which probably looks more like what you'd expect.
