CBS and CW programming “genius” Les Moonves’s thoughts, quoted from Variety:
Playing to the pinstriped crowd during a wide-ranging Thursday sesh at the McGraw Hill media conference in Gotham, Moonves criticized the TV biz’s incessant focus on courting younger viewers.
“The only upscale 18-year-olds I know are my children, and they have to come to me if they want to buy a car. It’s a bullsh*t demographic, forgive me,” he said, “that they’re the ones with the discretionary income, and the 50-year-old is thrown in the garbage. It’s one of the great old wives’ tales.”
