TV Appeals To Less Educated Among Britons
London April 22 Television’s appeal in Britain targets the less educated, a survey from the British Broadcasting Corporation finds. Of 3,000 families and 1,154 other viewers, lower education correlates with more TV ownership and greater viewing time, while higher education links to less watching and different leisure changes. The report notes behavioral shifts including reduced social visits, movie attendance, reading, and hobbies, with many viewers prioritizing TV over radio and other activities. It highlights specific cases like Vernon L Van Horn and Amina Strauss.
