In 2017, instead of watching traditional children’s television like Saturday morning cartoons or after-school specials, more kids than ever are using streaming services like Netflix for their entertainment. It has been determined that they are saved from just over 230 hours of commercials a year when compared to traditional television viewership homes.
Children are watching 2.68 hours of television a day (in some cases, up to nine hours). The average hour of television contains 14.25 minutes of commercials, or about 24% of airtime. With that in mind, if a kid were watching traditional television, they would be seeing 230 hours of commercials a year, or 9.6 days.
