Nielsen report: TV ownership declines
Every year, the estimated number of U.S. households owning TV sets goes up. Until now.
According to Nielsen’s annual “Television Audience” report that was released this week, the number of households with a TV set will decline. The rising trend of TV ownership has been leveling off in recent years, and now the number has dropped from 115.9 million homes in 2011 to an estimated 114.7 million in 2012. That’s a 1 percent decline despite the number of households rising.
