While unions and studios continue wrangling over how revenue from Internet screenings
of TV shows and movies should be divvied up, a new national survey commissioned by
Entertainment Weekly magazine indicates that hardly anyone is watching shows
online. The survey concluded that just 1 percent of viewers most often view TV shows
by downloading or streaming them. That compares with the 60 percent who still watch
all their TV shows the old-fashioned way -- at the time they are transmitted. Another
9 percent watch shows via their DVRs later in the day, while 14 percent do so later
in the week.
