A September 2008 study by <A target="blank" href="http://www.mediamark.com/">MRI</A> found that about one-half of major media consumption is exclusive.

done while watching TV, as is 17.4% of Internet usage and 15.3%
of newspaper reading.

So despite the increase in time spent online, Americans are still putting in more TV time every year.
