However, that's an incomplete analysis. Cable/DBS folk spend about half of their time watching three or four channels (terrestrial sources) that present the highest-value content available in the U.S., and they spend the other half of their viewing time watching a hundred or other channels.
Better look at those Neilsen ratings you keep talking about. I think you will find that what you wrote above is NOT true. The entire audience for those few broadcasts channels RARELY creeps above 50% of U.S. homes, and this includes all of those laggards who DO NOT subscribe to cable or DBS.
See: http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6413212.htmlNobody watches hundreds of channels. Most people watch 10-12 on a regular basis, although in a home with multiple TVs the 10-12 will vary for each family member.
