In India the serials, news and other programs revolve around women, they are the central theme.

Taking e.g of programs on Beauty tips, style statements, crimes against women,home decoration and of course cooking! all focus on their target audience the Women.

It definitely signifies that women are prime TV watchers hence :

Can it be concluded fairly that Women watch more TV?

I don't think maximum T.V is watched by women . If i start calculating the hours men spend in front of television watching sports programmes that go on for hours at a go .......!!!!! 😡

Yes , women watch more soaps not as much sports since majority in India are house wives and like homely programmes.

What about men who are not into sports as much? A minority though, but they still exist.

They are as much a minority as much as women who don't watch soaps or any T.V .
I know tons of women who don't watch any T.V , and don't allow their kids to watch too much T.V . But i still think they are a minority. ( We don't have any stats .......so i guess they are)😊

if u consider serials definately women watch it more cause indian tv dramas r very emotional(or u can say rona dhona types....)so women watch serials more definately cause most of women like such things....
but if u ask abt news channels,sports etc. definately men have the monopoly....it is definately better that watchin serials though.....!!!!

Could the reason for women watching more TV ( assuming they do!) be that women have more free time? Or, the work they do (household stuff) can be done with the TV turned on?

for my side i think there is equality between men n women watching tv....if women(esp...house wives) can spend more than an hour to watch tv then there are loads of men who are keeping awake the whole night watching sports,news and might even be action movies...my side i think women and men are in the same position...

he he.. I have felt that too ..

If you go strictly by number of hours, I think yes - the scales tilt towards women. Women spend more time at home than men. Even working women try to reach home earlier. BUT..if one were to look at

time spent at home vs time spent watching tv...Men will stand out with a shameful ratio 😉. A woman while at home, will whip through all her little jobs and even if the tv is on, might not really watch it. But men- ah 😃 feet up and espn.
