NY Magazine: Median Age Of News Channel Viewers

With median ages over 60 (assuming Fred is correct), I'd think those cable shows would have to find sponsors who have products that target the senior age group. I haven't noticed that, but I haven't paid attention either.

I wonder what the median age of newspaper subscribers is? My guess is it would be up there as well.

Edited to add...

Here is one graph of newspaper readers, and yes the age is up there. I'd guess the age of subscibers would run even higher...

My REASON for paper edition is pretty elementary....the information can NOT be amended/revised/altered....it is CAPTURED forever and is concrete evidence.....UNLIKE
cyber version.....JMO

The other nice thing about a newspaper? You can use it to swat flies and makes good tinder for a fire.
