Q: 17% of TV watchers do this on a daily basis?

A: Binge watch shows

Seven of ten U.S. TV viewers consider themselves “binge-viewers,” according to marketing and research company Miner & Co. Studio, which says these viewers say binging is “addictive.” The company defines binge-viewing as watching three or more episodes of one series in a single sitting, with frequent binge-viewers being those who do the activity a few times per week or more. Infrequent binge-viewers are those who binge once a month or less. Big-time binge watchers — 17% of binge-viewers — do so on a daily basis. Another 63% binge on a weekly basis. About 90% binge at least once on a monthly basis.
