TV as background
noise
A recent article
has shown a change in the lifestyle of many and one that radio
is watching with great interest. In the morning, more and
more people keep their sets on as they prepare for the day,
listening to the audio rather than watching, just so they'll
know what is going on in the world and what might be in store
for them as the day goes forth.
There is a feeling
that during the day they might miss something in the newspaper.
"Early morning shows offer a wealth of information from financial
to health that are very personnel for most" is a general understanding
for the astute person.
Just having it
as background noise is a little demeaning but yet understandable.
In bits and pieces information is transmitted and announcements
of nightly enjoyable program helps solidify the reason for
going to work. That reason is to come home to an evening of
enjoyment.
The pattern understood
by many radio personalities is that the radio may go off and
the radio wakes them up. They then go to the den and turn
on their TV sets and thus the concept of our tuners' roadcasting
is in progress. Later on they are back in their car listening
again to the radio. Others find that the home radio is simple
being ignored upon rising altogether.
One major TV news
director was perceptive enough to note that there are plenty
of people who get up and turn on his station instead of the
radio and that all he had to do was to get TV into everybody's
car. Sound familiar! A noticeable lifestyle change has the
health fad producing many people who get up to do exercise
such as treadmills, workouts etc. and watch TV at the same
time for all of the information, news and entertainment available
to them.
Other aspects
include the information of weather and traffic important enough
to know in detail and the TV offers that in its changing format
for the viewer. TV has adjusted to its new audience by purposefully
scheduling a set times the basis of weather, traffic and news-bites
headlines. All and all it appears the TV is a growing force
in the morning without its necessity for viewing, thus, TVA
2000TM and TVA3000tm tuners are a natural outgrowth as the
consumer goes from his house to the car and ultimately in
reverse.
