televiewer

Televiewer is a term used sporadically to describe an individual who views telecasts or participates in televised content from a distance through electronic media. The coinage combines tele- (far) with viewer, reflecting the remote nature of modern television consumption. Because it is not a standard term in broadcasting practice, its exact meaning can vary by context.

In traditional broadcasting, televiewer simply means a television viewer who watches programs on a screen, typically without interaction.

With the rise of interactive TV, televiewers may engage via voting, chat, or second-screen apps, potentially influencing programming.

In contemporary usage, the term is uncommon and often replaced by "viewer" or "audience"; related concepts include telepresence and remote viewing, though these are distinct.
