Mostly old people. Like my mother who passed away last November at the age of 92. She did not have cable. No internet. No smartphone. No computer in the house.

She watched the local news and then network news.
She still watched General Hospital every day @ 2pm.

I am 57. I watch the local WMUR ABC affiliate here in Manchester, NH. They mostly do local news, local sports(NH & Boston) and the weather. They mostly stay away from national politics. I watch them every morning before work. At 7 am GMA comes on. I listen to their teaser stories in the first minute and then usually change it to Fox & Friends.

The issue I personally have with watching Fox News is that they spend too much time on national politics. As much as I hate ABC they actually spent some time with the storm that hit the east coast the last two days. They talk about local sports teams. Including high school sports. Local school issues.

All Fox News is politics 24/7. It eventually is boring. Even for political news junkies like me.

I’m 52. We have the morning local news on from 5:45 or so until 7:00, then switch to Fox News until we get ready to work. I generally have Fox Business going in the background until Cavuto comes on. My son thinks it’s funny to turn on CNN or MSNBC to see how long it takes for me to notice. I don’t think I’ve watch a network news cast since the aftermath of 9/11/01. We are usually eating supper at 6:30, and the news isn’t how I want to be winding down at 11:00. From their videos, it doesn’t look like they have the production quality of Fox. They do that very well.
