For first time in history, TV ownership declines – KansasCity.com

• The total number of U.S. households with TV sets declined year to year for the first time since Nielsen started counting TV ownership.

• The number of households with no TV at all is at its highest level since 1975. Three percent of homes are TV-free.

The decline was not trivial, either — from 115.9 million TV households in 2011, Nielsen estimates that only 114.7 million homes in the U.S. will have a TV set in 2012. That’s a decline of almost 1 percent at a time when the total number of U.S. households continues to grow.
