interval.

With the recent growth in the number of U.S. households wired for cable television, major advertisers
are now beginning to show an increased interest in cable advertising. Since its inception, cable
television has offered advertisers relatively inexpensive rates and selective target audiences. For
purposes of comparison, A.J. Bush and J.H. Leigh conducted a content analysis of television
commercials on the three major networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, and three of the more popular, wellestablished cable networks, CNN, ESPN, and TBS. One of the variables measured was the number of
advertisements shown during prime-time (7:00 - 10:00 P.M.) and late-night (10:00 P.M. - 12:00 A.M.)
viewing segments on two weekday evenings during November 1981. The results are summarized in
the table below.
