I was just reading about the "rural purge" on TV from 1971. Huge TV audiences were watching shows like Mayberry RFD, but the advertisers wanted shows that attracted the 18-49 urban demographic -- so all the rural shows were axed, and we got All in the Family instead.

Now that TV has (once again) lost the 18-49 demographic, what will they do?

That is not a good example. Mayberry sucked...All in the Family was great. Try another example for the next time please. lol.
