I'm skeptical about this number. I've done more than 15000 minutes of TV watching in Italian and I'm something like a B 1.5 in listening.
Maybe if you are already C2 in a couple related languages ... or maybe if you front-load all your reading and vocab and do 20000 minutes of watching on the back end of your TL studies ... or maybe I have less than average linguistic skills (entirely possible).
