Interpretation• A media audience is a mixture of heavy users to light users.• Generally, as television viewing increases, income decreases.• Conversely, as newspaper reading increases, income increases. • Therefore, adding a newspaper audience to a reduced television buy will deliver
more people financially able to consider the purchase of goods and services.
Summary
Even the best executed spot TV schedule provides incomplete reach
Reduction in spot TV to fund newspapers has little impact on TV reach or frequency
Newspapers complement TV by reaching light viewers of TV
Newspapers, when combined withTV, will repeatedly reach your most important prospects
…and that same radio buy is less than the reach you get with ONE Sunday ad in the Quad-City Times!
