People do not really read a book when there is nothing on the tube

People like to watch television. It really does not that much of what they see. If there is only and it is easy to find. That has to be one of the main conclusions of the unfortunate episode with Tarik Z., who with his pistol public news several hours managed to paralyze. Yes, I know it was a fake, but that was when he was a guard with endangered and journal offices, not yet known

There are of course also draw other conclusions. Someone with a weapon do not you like against the security of the Media Park is as leaky as a sieve (but there is a complex card system), and it is inconvenient that both the studios and the technique of the NIS are in one building. Something is happening there, then there is hardly emit. That different conclusions, and the conclusions I have forgotten, we have seen over the past week several times passing by. But the behavior of the viewer, I have heard very little.

On that day Tarik I was in a huge, hour-long blizzard file, just across the border, back from Germany. As I read the first posts on Twitter about what was going on at the Media Park and Rob Oudkerk on Radio1 stiff about the manure surplus continued to talk, I suddenly received dozens, perhaps hundreds, messages, personally addressed to me. The comments were in an episode of the Food Inspection value that aired at the time, with me in it. Much more than usual. Wonderful, because it was a repeat. A very nice indeed, about superfoods, wheatgrass and more of this, but a repetition.

Why do I suddenly got so much more reactions? Even more than on a fresh broadcast? Soon the me from other twitter comments were clear: while NPO1 and 2 nothing aired (also that nothing looked quite turned out later), my inspection-mates and I went merrily, as if nothing had happened. A lot of people who normally would not watch, decided to look at this inspection episode.

To the superfood repetition watched 1.2 million people. This was the best views Inspection of all time and after GTST, an unbeatable gun, and the news and please contribute on the gun zwaaier the most watched program of the day.

People looked perfectly well because they like and interesting thought, but, to be honest, because it just was. They now want to watch television once. They do not really read a book when there is nothing to their liking on the tube. They obviously watching NPO1, because that is the easiest to find, see the popularity of the test image. Powned ever pulled on NPO1, I think, 700,000 viewers with images of a bathtub filling up, thereupon. Time and place for a large part to the success of a program.

That puts the TV ratings race quite a bit.
