TV viewing has hit a record high even as content consumption online and through mobile devices continues to grow, a new Nielsen Co. report finds, TelevisionWeek reports. The average U.S. home watched TV 8 hours and 18 minutes per day during the 2007-08 season, with the average person watching 142 hours per month, up five hours from the year before, the magazine says. Olympic coverage, sporting events and election news also drove increases in online consumption.
