Network audiances trending older
A study by Magna Global USA shows the median age of the major network's viewers is rising.
From USA Today:
"An annual study by ad buyer Magna Global USA shows the four major networks each had a median age of 40 or more for the first time, meaning half of viewers are older and half younger than that figure.
"In other words, roughly half of its average audience is now older than what it still claims as its core audience," says the report's author, analyst Steve Sternberg.
