Cable and Satellite
The Cable and Satellite sector continues to experience increasing competition with a general oversupply of networks. The average household receives 90 channels, while the average consumer watches 14 - 15 of those.
The advertising downturn in 2009 is projected to continue to affect internet advertising, with large scale local station buying remaining a logistical challenge. Bundling of national network advertising provides minimal incremental costs in the purchase of whole networks vs. leading market packages. Overall volume of cable network advertising has declined relative to the networks. Automobile Industry sales declines have and will continue to affect advertising presence in 2009.
