In the 15-25 age group: 14% watched an average of 1-2 hours per week 14% watched an average of 5-6 hours per week 43% watched an average of 7-8 hours per week 29% watched an average of 10+ hours per week
I noticed that the highest averages for both groups were at the 7-8 hour increment.
hope it helps..
