          Abstract

          This work gives us a picture of what and how long youngsters watch television according to a sample of 144 adolescents and young people from the Basque Country (Spain). The main aim is to know our reality and contrast it with available data from other researches. First of all, the results from other works on the television habits and preferences of youngsters are summarized and then the results obtained after applying the Questionnaire on Television Habits (QTH), which was set up “ad hoc” for this research, are presented. The obtained data show us that the time spent watching TV is not so long as we might have expected and this activity does not replace other ones either. As regards the television diet, the favourite contents are fiction series and news, but not the most harmful programmes.
