My 6 year old used to watch lots of TV when he was 4. Now he watches Youtube, and the occasional thing on our FireTV box.
What should really terrify the TV networks is that not only have heve, and lots of his friends, ditched the classic TV channels, and certainly viewing it on TV, but they've largely ditched commercial TV shows:
My son, for example, prefers watching people roleplay scenarios in custom Minecraft worlds or G-Mod to high value commercial productions.
I'm sure TV in some form will survive (over the internet...), but there'll be a massacre where the traditional channels are reduced to niches, and on-demand becomes a battleground between high value studio productions on one end, and rapidly professionalised small independent "studios" ranging from one person with a webcam and up on the other.
