TNS sees Internet growing fast

The changing media landscape was caught in a TNS Media Intelligence annual snapshot which saw TV's usual even-year growth, flat radio, declining newspaper and burgeoning internet. The advertising market as a whole was reported up by 4.1%. TGS measures five general media categories, and internet was part of "all other media," along with outdoor and free-standing inserts. The other category was up 15.9% from 2005 to 2006, with 17.3% of that generated by the internet, 8.6% from outdoor and 25.5% from FSIs. Spanish language television was the driver for that category, syndication the anchor. National spot was the only bright spot for radio. As for share, television was up 0.5% to 43.7%, Magazines down 0.1% to 19.9%, newspaper down 1.2% to 18.7%m radio down 0.2% to 7.4%, and Internet up 0.7% to 6.5%. Money spent elsewhere accounted for the remaining 3.8%, up 0.3% from the previous year.
