Millennials now make up two-thirds of the vital 18-49-year-old TV viewing audience, and USA Network is making changes to attract the generation, and appeal to their values of “confidence, perseverance, self-reliance, optimism, [and] bravery.” Reality and short comedy shows are being added to their lineup, and dramas that center on unconventional heroes are an important new focus.
