Christine Christiewhich form is more used
Probably programs, but strange as it may seem, I don't think I use either of those much. It depends on context, of course, but I usually mention the specific program I'm going to watch, or the type of program, or just say "TV".
It's "murder mystery night", so I'll be watching a lot of TV tonight.
