Statistics on Childrens TV watching habits

http://www.csun.edu/science/health/docs/tv&health.html

Number of minutes per week that the average child watches television: 1,680

Number of 30-second TV commercials seen in a year by an average child: 20,000

Percentage of 4-6 year-olds who, when asked to choose between watching TV
and spending time with their fathers, preferred television: 54
Percentage of local TV news broadcast time devoted to advertising: 30


There is a high emphasis on television advertising and the amount of television consumed by children a day (4 hours on average). This would give advertisers a lot of opportunity to access children and sell their products.
