State of the Media

While looking that the state of the media website I was completely shocked the the viewers who watch local TV is decreasing. Now I know that many people watch cable TV, but growing up in a farm family we never have cable TV. My parents could not figure out why you would pay for TV when you did not have the time to watch it. So we just have the local TV channel, and I can honestly say growing up with just that has probably made me a harder worker, who is less dependent on TV for entertainment. While the website shows many statistics about media, its noticeable that the local sources of media is what is hurting during the changes media have been undergoing.
