While 71 per cent said it helped them be more informed about other international cultures.
Almost half (45%) said TV made them feel better educated on causes such as Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movement.
While the TV is also getting credit for educating people on the climate emergency, refugee crises and the pandemic in recent years.
It also emerged more than two thirds like that TV keeps them informed without having to find further additional information themselves.
And 59 per cent like that their favourite shows weave in important issues so they consume them without too much effort, according to SWNS Digital.
