Today In Communication History
On this date in 1941, CBS gave a demonstration of color television in the U.S.
On this date in 1948, NBC affiliate station WLWT-TV begins transmissions on channel 5 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
On this date in 1964, The Beatles performed five songs live on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ on CBS Television. The program got a rating of 23.24 million homes—overtaking ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’ as the highest US television audience to that date. Teenage crime is at an all-time low for the decade.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new homes with meters that record the channel being watched — but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
February Sweeps Period runs from February 4, 2016 and ends March 2, 2016.

Quote of the Day
‘Knowledge Is Power’
Francis Bacon
Marketing Research
Food For Thought
◎ Global consumer confidence ended 2015 on a subdued note as the index declined two points from the third quarter to 97. Compared to first-quarter 2015, confidence in the fourth quarter remained flat in Asia-Pacific at 107, while Europe edged up four points to 81. All other regions ended the year less confident than they started.
◎ More than half (55%) of respondents around the world believed they were in recession in the fourth quarter of 2015, a modest increase from the start of that year (53%)—and a level that often exceeds official economic definitions.
◎ More than 18,000 new retail stores have opened in the U.S. since 2007, and 88% of that expansion has come from small-format stores.
◎ Online shopping is growing around the world, but is this affecting how people are shopping in physical stores? Consumers aren’t simply “showrooming”—browsing in store and then going online in search of the lowest-cost option. They’re also “webrooming”—researching online and buying in stores.
◎ What makes a strong corporate reputation? While few brands would argue the need for effective management, quality products and a strong social responsibility platform, many are overlooking one of their greatest assets when it comes to reputation management: their employees.
◎ 79% of wireless subscribers in the U.S. say they text in general, and U.S. smartphones users 18 and older spend 4 hours and 39 minutes on communication apps each month. So the question today isn’t if you can reach someone with a mobile message. It’s when and where.
Mobile Research
Smartphone Penetration Nears 80% of the US Mobile Market
Some 79.3% of US mobile subscribers aged 13 and older owned a smartphone during the 3-month period ending in December 2015 (Q4), reports comScore. That represents a slight uptick on a quarter-over-quarter basis (from 77.4% in Q3), after growth had slowed through the first 9 months of the year. comScore notes that Apple finished the year with 42.9% of smartphone subscribers, down 0.7% points from Q3. Android remained the top platform up 1% point to 53.3% of subscribers, while Samsung was the #2 OEM with 28.4% share of subscribers, up 0.8% points.
In total there were 6 apps that boasted more than 50% reach among US adult smartphone mobile media users (iOS and Android platforms). These were led again by Facebook (76.8%), followed by Facebook Messenger (62.5%), YouTube (61.3%), Google Play (51.9%), Google Maps (50.9%) and Google Search (50.1%). Meanwhile, Instagram (#9) reached almost 4 in 10 (39.1% of) adult mobile media users, while Twitter reached about 1 in 4 (24.5%).
Social Media Research
More Than Half of Americans Will Use Facebook In 2016
It will retain its dominance in usage and social ad spending
This year, for the first time, more than half of the US population will use Facebook, according to eMarketer’s latest social network usage forecast. In 2016, 50.3% of Americans of all ages will be on Facebook at least once a month, up from 49.3% in 2015. Facebook will remain the dominant social network by a wide margin through at least 2020, the end of eMarketer’s forecast period. This year, 162.9 million US internet users will log on to the site at least once a month. Facebook-owned Instagram, the second-most-used social network, will have 89.4 million US users this year, or 27.6% of the population. Twitter is a distant third, with 56.8 million users this year, representing 17.5% of the US population.
“Facebook remains the king of social networks, and the usage increases are coming primarily from people who are Generation X and older,” said eMarketer principal analyst Debra Aho Williamson. “Plenty of teens and young adults still use Facebook, but growth is slowing in these groups.” As a result of Facebook’s strong usage rates, it will continue to command the lion’s share of US social network ad spending. This year, Facebook will capture 73.4% of social network ad spending in the country, or $9.86 billion. Twitter is a distant second, on course to capture 13.8% of US social network ad dollars, or $1.86 billion.
Another important milestone for Facebook this year is that more than half of US mobile phone users will be Facebook users. In 2016, 52.9% of mobile phone users will log on to Facebook at least once a month from their mobile phone. And mobile will continue to play an important role in Facebook”s growth. This year, 86.0% of US Facebook users will access the platform through a phone, with that figure climbing to 91.0% by 2019. Strong user engagement on mobile is helping to drive Facebook’s mobile ad revenues, which this year will amount to 19.2% of total mobile ad spending in the US (Google is No. 1 with a 31.7% share).
Even with Facebook’s explosive growth in mobile, Twitter still leads in terms of the percentage of users who access the service via mobile, as well as in the percentage of revenue from mobile. This year, 92.3% of Twitter’s users will log on via their phones. And while Facebook is expected to derive 82.0% of its US ad revenues from mobile this year, eMarketer forecasts that 90.0% of Twitter’s ad revenues this year will come from mobile. “Twitter and Facebook are far ahead of other companies in the percentage of ad revenue that comes from mobile. They are helping to convince marketers that mobile is important to their business strategy,” said Williamson.
