The first graph, which shows penetration in 1950, reveals a clear distinction between counties that had a station in their DMA and those that did not. The average penetration in DMAs whose first station began broadcasting before 1950 ranges from 8% in the 1949 group to over 35% in the 1941 group, whereas the average for groups getting television after 1950 never exceeds 1%. The second graph shows that, by 1960, differences in penetration across these DMAs had largely disappeared. Differences in the timing of introduction of television into different areas thus had a large initial impact, but by 1960 most late-adopting DMAs had caught up to those that began. | The Effects of a Consumer-Oriented Multimedia Game on the Reading Disorders of Children with ADHD Tammy M.
