It's one of America's favorite pastimes. For decades television has dominated how we view the world.
Now with streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu constantly producing high quality, star-studded content, no one can ever say "there's nothing to watch on TV."
Because of the endless platforms and devices to consume content on, everyone's TV watching habits are likely to vary more than in previous decades.
That's why Verizon Specials conducted a study to analyze TV viewership by state.
Their data discovered that overall, U.S. citizens watched 17% more TV than they did in comparison to last year's report.
Verizon Specials also used their data to determine the top ten states that watch the most and the least TV.
California surprisingly made it onto the Top Ten States with the Least-Watched TV list. The state was ranked at number 7.
Californians watched 3 hours, 13 minutes, and 12 seconds of TV per day according to the study.
They also found that California's favorite TV Genre is Telenovelas.
The full list of states that made it onto the Top Ten Least-Watched TV list are:
- Alaska - 2:38:24
- Utah - 2:54:36
- Idaho - 3:05:24
- Minnesota - 3:06:00
- Washington - 3:09:36
- New Mexico - 3:12:00
- California - 3:13:12
- Montana - 3:15:00
