In the 1990s...stationed here in Germany....I worked with a guy who was also married to a German gal. One of his favorite topics....was the 'lifestyle' that his wife had growing up in the 1980s...in a West German household...without a TV.
His father-in-law (and wife) were accepting of a radio, but a TV was simply unacceptable. There was some sort of German logic to this position in life.
About ten years ago....some public TV discussion came up....where they had analyzed TV ownership/use, and came to find out that around 800k to 900k Germans had no TV in the home....relying strictly upon a radio.
No one says how this works. I'm of the mind that if you divided the no-TV/just-radio crowd up....of the 800k, probably three-quarters of them are over the age of 70.

AFN....those were the days. 3 minutes of news were all you needed each day.
