In 2006, the median age of nightly news viewers stayed at roughly 60 years, according to data provided to PEJ by MagnaGlobal USA.6 Those numbers suggest that the three broadcast networks have considerable work to do if they hope to bring the average age into the 25-to-54 range, the demographic group most prized by marketers. It is not clear whether that can happen on television, or to what extent younger viewers ever made up the nightly news audience. http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.org/2007/narrative_networktv_audience.asp?cat=2&media=5 Katie was a ploy to get George and Martha Beasley to agree as to which channel they would watch the news on before Jeopardy came on. But as you know in Holland, using different fingers in the dike is really not the effective answer to the problem.
