German television viewers spent an average of around 3 hours a day watching TV. It is still one of the most used mediums among the population. However, the time people spent watching TV daily also varied by age group. People aged 14 to 19, for example, spent 25 minutes a day watching TV.

Watch it

On a weekday, based on recent figures, most viewers spent an average of around two hours watching TV. They split their time between the following genres: the news, travel programs, and comedies or romantic movies. Increased TV time among older viewers may be due to the inclusion of retirees who are home more often. That is not to say that children and younger viewers necessarily spend less time watching TV programs, but how they access and consume it has changed, with influencing factors such as online streaming services and mobile device ownership.

Samsung TVs most popular

German viewers preferred Samsung TVs, while other leading brand choices included Samsung and LG. As for the future of television programming and broadcasting, the revenue of pay TV and paid VOD in Germany has been increasing in the 2010s year after year and has stabilized around 2.2 billion euros in 2023. This suggests that TV still has a future despite the rise of streaming.
