If they could get the word out, I think it could double, perhaps even triple. 10x improvement? I doubt it. But I'd love to see the comparisons.

I think if you add up total engagement on the web sites (not just video viewing) it's probably a little bigger than the rounding error it currently appears to be. But probably only a little bit, and probably still a rounding error against the total TV viewing. I'd agree, 6% is not a rounding error, but I'm also with you on that number seeming way, way high based on these numbers.<br><br>If I was any good at photoshop I'd do a picture of King Kong with an NBC logo on his chest picking up a Web browser with the caption: "Your Interwebs are tiny" I am with you down the line Mikey.
