Ownership of TV Sets Falls in U.S.For the first time in 20 years, the number of homes in the United States with television sets has dropped. The Nielsen Company, which takes TV set ownership into account when it produces ratings, will tell television networks and advertisers on Tuesday that 96.7 percent of American households now own sets, down from 98.9 percent previously.
There are two reasons for the decline, according to Nielsen. One is poverty: some low-income households no longer own TV sets, most likely because they cannot afford new digital sets and antennas.
The other is technological wizardry: young people who have grown up with laptops in their hands instead of remote controls are opting not to buy TV sets when they graduate from college or enter the work force, at least not at first. Instead, they are subsisting on a diet of television shows and movies from the Internet.

Telenovela Plot Includes Lesbian Couple, Sexy Content
Telemundo, the NBC Universal corporation that produces some of the finest, strangest, and most hectic telenovelas you’ve ever seen mamasita, recently began airing a novela on their new youth-oriented station, Mun2, that features a same-sex relationship.
LAS APARICIO, the show in question, is about a family of women in Mexico City. Julia, a character who runs a catering business, has a lesbian best friend named Mariana. And the drama begins when Mariana’s girlfriend calls her out for having feelings for Julia. This is proof that even if this show is in Spanish, it captures experiences like falling in love with your best friend that all lesbians can understand, language barrier or not. And they know it, too: the show is subtitled and intended to appeal to audiences of Spanish- and English-speaking backgrounds.
