The following is an excerpt from an article that
shares statistics about reality television.
Reality TV isn't only popular for Americans, but all over the world. Hill highlights an interesting statistic regarding reality TV in the UK by stating that in 2000, 70% of the population has gone on record in having watched reality television occasionally or on a regular basis.
The United States has similar reality TV statistics. One report indicates that for girls ages 12 - 17 years old, 3 out of 4 of their favorite television shows were reality TV shows.
The trend is certainly growing worldwide as network executives are taking advantage of the fact that high ratings mean high advertising revenues. Now Latin Amercan Idol, Brazil's Next Top Model and other overseas versions of popular shows in the states are emerging everyday. Statistically, reality television has been on a sharp rise. Whether that rise will continue, no one knows. However, there is sure to be a long withstanding relationship with reality television and its popularity among audiences.
