  The article presents the results of a television consumption survey of rural residents. We prove that people choose the TV content that corresponds to their mindset.

These views suggest that the villagers are in a state of social depression — they tend to become less sensitive and more alienated towards symbols, values and conventions of the present-day media. Thus we introduce the term «depressive media consumption» that refers to this rural viewing pattern.
