The correct answer to this open question is the following. Unfortunately, you did not include the

can help you comment in general terms.
Fragmentation is notorious for the number of spectators who watch TV or comedy shows. The comparison is between "The Cosby Show" during the 1980s and "Two And A Half Men" in the 2010s.
"The Cosby Show" had an average audience of 30 million. A total success. "Two And A Half Men" had an average audience of 15 million, and for today's standards, it was a success.
Fragmentation has resulted in the
diversification of people's tastes, culture,
preferences, likes, and dislikes. This has
had a direct impact on the numerous shows
that have been produced to satisfy every
market niche. That is why, today we can
see advertisings for many kinds of shows,
different audiences, different topics, genres,
and situations.
