I don't quite understand where people are finding the time to let their kids watch over 1 hour of TV (much less read to them) each day.
My wife and I work a standard 8 hour day. Kids wake up at 700. We leave for daycare/work by 800. Arrive at work by 9. Work until 6pm. Pick up kids. Get home by 7pm. Prepare and eat dinner. Bedtime routine starts at 8pm.
This leaves zero hours of dedicated kid time during the work week.
