And then there's the security aspect.

Interesting piece from the techie folks at #BBC. I hadn’t really considered the number of folks who listen to radio via their smart TVs. Great opportunity to consume less power when Media companies opt to use a darkened background. I imagine the same holds true for #podcast and #StreamingMusic apps as well.

I wonder what the data looks like for Americans listening to audio content on their TVs?Anybody got a source?
