The number of junk food ads young viewers see on TV has not decreased. A new report—which analyzed 72 hours of TV on Cartoon Network, Discovery Family, Nickelodeon, and Nicktoons—shows that since 2012, there hasn’t been a shift in the amount of unhealthy food and drinks marketing on kids’ channels. For every hour a child spends watching Nickelodeon or Nicktoons, they are exposed to 10 junk food ads. However, YPulse data shows that there is a shift in the number of kids who are actually watching ad-supported TV, with Millennial parents saying their kids are far more likely to watch streaming services.
