How many hours of television have ever been made?

There is no definitive answer to this question, as the amount of television content that has been produced is constantly growing and evolving. However, some estimates put the total number of hours of television that have ever been made at around 5 million. This includes both live and pre-recorded content, from all over the world.

As a point of reference, if you were to watch 8 hours of television every day, it would take you over 179 years to watch all of the television that has ever been made.
