More Young People Are Watching Planet Earth 2 Than Reality TV

More Young People Are Watching Planet Earth 2 Than Reality TV
BBC recently reported that 1.8 million young viewers tuned into their new documentary series rather than the 1.4 million watching The X Factor.

Contrary to popular belief suggesting that millenials aren't interested in anything but their smart phones, BBC has recently confirmed that their hit documentary series Planet Earth 2 has more viewers in the 16-35 age demographic than reality TV show The X Factor.

The series's presenter Sir David Attenborough attributes its success to the soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer; improvements in technology; and young viewers' fixation on the importance of the planet's future.

Planet Earth made history by becoming the first wildlife documentary to be shot in high-definition. The show not only provides incredible snapshots of a world still mostly unexplored, but it also shows the ever-increasing amount of impact made by climate change on the environment. You can tune into its next episode via the BBC at 8:00PM on Sundays.
