I think more people are doing it, and certainly more people are watching much less.
I am counted among those without a TV signal.
I still have my quality, commercial-free A/V entertainment that really interests me enough to go to the trouble to find... what i want is covered by the monthly bandwidth download allotment from my cable provider.
I now know why my father always called it the boob-tube. Free the mind, smash the TV.
Traditional forms of media (TV, print newspaper, the recording industry) all are going to need to adapt to survive, or die, to the reality that there just isn't enough public interest in them anymore in the competition for time, and the competition/replacement by the internet as it is today and tomorrow. Radio will survive in it's current form, for now.. I'm not saying nothing new here, obviously.
