Survey Says: HDTV Tops Shoes By John Eggerton Broadcasting & Cable
2/22/2006 9:50:00 AM http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6309409.html?display=Breaking+News Women would pick an HDTV set over a toaster, a day off or a new pair of Manolo Blahniks. That's according to a Scripps Networks lifestyle research survey. The only thing that beat out HDTV, chosen by 29% of respondents as their top pick, was a weekend getaway (42%). The survey found that the top programming category respondents were interested in seeing in HD was documentaries, with dramas and sports next at 69% and lifestyle programming--like Scripps' HGTV or Food Network, for instance--at 62%. The survey--of 878 adults 18-plus, margin of error plus or minus 3%--is in conjunction with HGTV's launch in HD next month. ================================================= George Antunes Voice (713) 743-3923 Associate Professor Fax (713) 743-3927 Political Science Internet: antunes at uh dot edu University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-3011 Reply with a "Thank you" if you liked this post. _____________________________ MEDIANEWS mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
