CSW Becomes A 'Nielsen Family'



I
've had relatives who've filled out Nielsen TV ratings books- but had personally not been recruited until now.


Starting with the late-January "sweeps"- this family will be keeping track of our viewing on the 4 televisions around here.

This ought to be interesting- since Ms. Rittenhouse and I watch mostly cable channel fare if not DVDs- (ahem) VHS tapes or just plain surfing the unlimited variety of Web sites.

Local TV news may be in trouble when it comes to what we fill in those slots- since in many cases I AM local news (and weather).

I'd like to ESPECIALLY complain how the USCA government made over-the-air TV watching difficult to nearly impossible for analog TV owners- making it almost necessary for owners of such sets to get cable or satellite JUST to get COMMERCIAL TV!

Also- too bad you cannot note on the Nielsen diaries how BAD commercials are infiltrating every damn thing we watch on those commercial channels and how we're being gouged by cable TV rate increases.
