It isn't wrong. > The average 2-5 year old is spending over 1,600 hours a year watching television.
> Ratings tracking company Nielsen reported in 2014 that the average hour of television has close to 15 minutes and 30 seconds of commercials. By their count 1/4th of each hour is commercials. 1600 * .75 / 365 == 3.3 hours per day |

In what was is it not wrong?
He estimated 1/3 commercials which was wrong. He estimated 2.2 hours of TV, which is wrong regardless of whether that includes commercials and regardless of whether the commercial ratio is 1/3 or 1/4. He also went back and edited it[1] to say 2-3 hours which is still wrong, because 3.3 is not between 2 and 3.
And for the record, commercials are still TV so scaling down to 3.3 is a really bizarre choice on your part.
[1] Actually rewrote essentially the entire comment removing almost everything I responded to.
