The statistics clearly show that Taiwan's public has a special love of news. According to a survey conducted by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, in 1993 the average person in Taiwan spent two hours and 11 minutes per day watching television. At that rate, one-third of the six daily hours of leisure enjoyed by an average Taiwanese is spent staring at the tube.
根據行政院主計處民國八十二年的調查，台灣民眾平均每天花二小時十一分看電視，平均每天六小時的休閒時間，三分之一在盯著螢光幕；而收看率最高的電視節目正是新聞。
