A survey conducted in September 2021 asked U.S. adults that subscribed to at least one TV service about their TV viewing habits. Over one-third of survey respondents reported more than seven hours of viewing time weekly. The second most common response came from about one-quarter of people interviewed, who reported between three and five hours. The smallest proportion of survey respondents (eight percent) stated to watch television up to one hour.
