Otherwise we could say we got introduced to Qrow by him watching TV. Yang's introductory scene was walking into a bar and asking for a drink as an explicit lead-in to pumping the information broker-cum-bartender for information on her mother, which has indeed been among her defining characteristics. But her asking for a drink is as relevant as Qrow looking at the TV.

actually we aren't sure whom Yang was searching for at that point, regardless, look at what we know about Qrow, he's an information seeker for Ozpin, he likely doesn't see the fights for their entertainment value, but as a means of assertaining assets for when things start crashing down, he's drinking is possibly because of how sorry excuses the fighters make for huntsmen and huntresses in his eyes.
