BANGKOK (NNT) - Average viewing hours of both digital and terrestrial television during the second quarter of 2020 were 5.37% higher compared to the same period in 2019.

 

According to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), the surge in TV viewing coincided with the period when the COVID-19 outbreak had been escalating in Thailand and the government had announced lockdown measures nationwide.

 

The NBCT added that the lockdown also had resulted in many people working from home, which consequentially increased the average TV viewing time.

Proving that even Covid News Bulletins are a lot more interesting than Soaps and other regular Thai TV Programs !

If only they'd kept track of how much porn streaming had increased during lockdown. I'm sure that with nothing else to do, a lot of folks have been rubbing themselves raw.

Luckily we're pretty much immune here in Thailand and have been able to live life as normal.
