ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY - WHO'S WATCHING TV ONLINE? NOT MANY

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.
