Jodie Buccieri: “About eight. My son watches maybe two hours of morning shows. My husband has it on from around six till midnight.”

Annabelle Murray with Langley: “We work full-time, so about two hours. We’re outside a lot now. Langley watches some educational television.”

Flavia Silva: “The children are limited to one hour each day. One half-hour in the morning and one half-hour in the evening.”

Tommy Prophet: “It’s on probably 12 hours. There are five in the household. We all actually watch about eight hours.”
