In 1997, noted media researcher Erwin Ephron presented a paper titled "Learning to live in Lilliput, the media land where small is beautiful.
Optimizing reach with low ratings and other thoughts on TV fragmentation. " In it, Ephron wrote about the TV's growing audience-fragmentation problem and presciently saw what would happen if the media-buying community continued to focus the bulk of TV budgets on a declining pool of larger-rated shows without strategically dispersing a large volume of spots across lots of shows with small audiences. Folks didn't listen then and -- in spite of fragmentation along the lines of Ephron's forecast -- apparently won't listen now. TV ad campaigns in the U.S. today deliver considerably less reach than they did in 1997, even though TV viewing is at an all-time high. Fifteen years ago, a heavy national schedule with average frequency would reach 80-90% of its target audience in three weeks. The story is even worse when it comes to frequency distribution.
