Oh, and on this, ooops, once again, Craig latches onto the first thing that
supports his political platform.

Page 8 footnote 47:

"SNL Kagan estimates that there were 133.8 million households in this country
in 2013." Okay, but let's be fair. Not EVERY home has a TV set, right?

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2007/TamaraTamazashvili.shtml

"Today, the television is almost a necessity, with 99% of households owning at
least one set."

So, let's do some numbers, Craig. How many TV households were there in 2013?

0.99 * 133.8M = 132.5M

Nielsen claims that there are 100.4M MVPD households now? Okay, Craig. Now tell
us what percentage of TV households is connected to an MVPD?
