I respect that lots of people like programming that I don’t (and Vice versa), but not why linear television seems more resistant to rampant decline in some day parts and not others.
You seem to be suggesting that age is a factor; the older audiences who watch TV in the day are less likely to cut their cords and stream. Guess that makes sense (and interacts with other factors like SES and education). That is also consistent with procedural drama being one of the species of cockroaches that seem to be surviving in Primetime, while the audiences for late night tend to be younger and better educated (and so more likely to bleed out to streaming et Al). Still, I wonder if we will soon see similar fragmentation and decline of the daytime TV audience as well. After all, most of the television I watch is actually streaming, but I watch it on my TV set, use the remote that controls my TV, and once it is set up need no more technical competence or imagination than needed to access broadcast television.
