The Internet may grab all of the attention these days, but TV is still the media king. According to one recent study, the average American spends more than four and a half hours a day in front of the tube -- and a whopping 99 percent of all U.S. households have at least one TV. Those numbers make one thing crystal clear: television advertising is still the most pervasive and powerful tool for reaching U.S. consumers.
