I am the poster above, who does not watch TV during the day. Before you think I'm holier than thou, I stream heavily at night.

Nope. I listen to audiobooks when doing household tasks. I only watch tv before bed.

I WFH I never watch TV during the workday. And on weekends, I don't typically watch TV during the day either. When I sit down to watch TV, my day just kind of disappears. For entertainment during the weekends, I listen to audiobooks or podcasts. That way, I can continue doing what I need to do and I'm not tied to a room and a TV.

On weekdays I turn on the Young & Restless while I eat lunch. Usually I eat and check email and check DCUM or Reddit so I’m halfway listening to the show. On weekends I might watch something during the day if the weather is bad.

I turn on the morning news shows during breakfast, again halfway listening. Usually it’s background noise unless an interesting story or the weather report.

On the weekends, if I'm binging something or there is a sports event.

no!

so what do you do all day?

I work out, read, cook, clean, shuttle my kids around to their activities, projects that we’ve put off, etc. I don’t know!! But what I do know is that it seems every day goes by and I don’t turn on the tv!

+1 same.

No but I have the radio (non commercial music stations) on all day while I work.

My husband has TV on constantly while he works.

I’m doing busy work this week, so I’ll probably stream something fairly mindless in the background. I usually use the TV for Spotify while I work.

Not real TV but I will sometimes put CNBC (financial "news") on. Just low volume background noise.

No, still don't, I'm usually cleaning or doing little projects, organizing or running errands. Still just at night I watch tv from maybe 9-11 then go to sleep.
