Read the excerpt from a short story.
The Sonoran Desert route was his favorite. His friends were surprised he could endure the solitude of it, but he cherished the barren miles. Today he'd passed a mile of verbena in full bloom, followed by ten miles with nothing but sagebrush. The next leg promised cliffs, and he loved to imagine scaling them as he traversed the desolate highway. In fact, one was rising in the distance, and the highway would bear right around it. He looked down to cool the temperature, looked up again, and stared. The grill of a tractor trailer, in his lane, was bearing down upon him.

Hey there LegendMan!
So, based on my reading of this passage from above, I see how this man watches (tv) and that the users that watch it may know a little more.
So, based on my information, it seem's like that answer could be "<span>Viewers know more about television than those who broadcast it." This may sound weird, but it was clear in the passage that this was the case.
Hope this helps.
