Thanks for saving me the time!<BR/><BR/>One of the points I think a lot of people (not you) miss is that in theory only measuring 25,000 families is perfectly valid. In fact, for national numbers, the sample size is more than adequate. For sample size it only starts to fall apart when you slice it by demographics and geography.<BR/><BRBoonDoggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472197145758638551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282351.post-45266986008921331132007-06-03T19:48:00.000-07:002007-06-03T19:48:00.000-07:00Famous Last Words:"Last year, advertisers committe...Famous Last Words:<BR/><BR/>"Last year, advertisers committed $8.75 billion for network prime-time commercial spots during the "upfront" sales season.
