magbot's TV listings suggestion does seem very plausible -- but i also think that negotiating the embedded cultural panorama of successive cohorts as they age (from 10-15 or whatever) will have been even harder than the equivalent was for the music press

(sorry, this is a super-compressed idea: i mean what tastes a 10-yr-old arrives with in 1982 vs ditto in 1987 plus what tastes a 15-yr-old is encouraged to gravitate towards in 1982 vs ditto in 1987) (& jumping on by cohort, as all the while the media landscape beyond look-in is also changing)

There’s definitely something to the deregulation thing bsky.app/profile/tome...
