0

A recent Nielsen report showed the most modest projected gain in TV households – 400K – in ten years, a gain of 0.3%. It has broken it down further, and showed that the biggest gains are among Hispanics, and minorities together make up almost all of it. The Hispanic gain is 290K (2.3%), Asians account for 40K (0.8%), African Americans gain 50K (0.3%), leaving just 20K to Caucasians. That’s a virtual 0% gain.
