The only reason there's some childrens programming at all, is it's a legal requirement for all networks here to show so many hrs per week. So we wind up with several year old shows from england, canada and the us. It seems that in Oz if you're over 10 but under 50 the tv networks just don't want to know you. Which is fine, i gave up on tv over 8 years ago now. Watching it online? I could easily buy a tv tuner card for less than $100, i just don't see the point. There's nothing on tv that i want to watch. I don't like sport, i don't like "drama", and the ads shit me so badly i can't stay watching long enough even if they happen to repeat a movie i don't mind.

We all have our own pc's and highspeed conections and spend way more time on the internet and gaming than watching TV. Television stations should stream there staions on the net and try to get some of the watchers back ( advertising $). Most kids use msn and chat forums and having TV running in the back ground would be something I would do if I were in the television industry. I won't be long and this will happen as advertisers will demand it. Most of whats on TV is for women anyways. I bet most of the remaining TV watchers are women and the change is mostly guys switching to internet and such for entertainment. I bet you have noticed more and more politicaly incorrect advertising on TV. That is because they see the change and are trying to get the men back. They need to this with their programing and also stream it online. Our family does not use the tv for passing time (couch surfing).
