We are often shocked by how much time people spend on social media platforms like Netflix or TikTok, but have you ever thought about how many hours a day you watch streaming services? In the Netherlands we still seem to watch 2 hours and 12 minutes of television. And that’s almost as much time as we spend on Netflix every day.
Watching television
We used to watch many more hours of television on NOS, Nederland 1, RTL 4, SBS6, and so on, but that has decreased in recent years. More and more people no longer have a television subscription at all. If you want to watch NPO, you can simply stream it with the NPO app, and if you want to watch RTL programs, you can go to Videoland. Other channels can be seen, for example, via NLkijkt. So there is little reason to still have a classic television subscription, although you often see among sports fans that they still have it, in addition to a subscription to ViaPlay, for example.
