Things are not good for TV makers in the U.K. The number of homes with a TV fell for the first time ever. The number fell from 26.3 million in 2012 to 26 million in 2013—a fall of 300,000. In 1956, only 30% of homes had a TV in the U.K. This went up to 93% in the 1970s.

The fall in TV is because of smartphones and computers. People now make shows and watch them later on smartphones and computers. About 47% of people watch the BBC on smartphones or computers. It was 25% in 2012. 15% of 18-24-year-olds watch TV on a computer.
