Psst. Those missing 18-49 year-olds are watching Univision.


Now that the 2012/2013 television season is wrapping up, some interesting data on audience trends has emerged.  While the traditional networks continue to lose 18-49 year-olds, Univision and Telemundo are showing gains among this key demographic.  (Hagey, 2013)

Here are the specifics:

Losers
CBS: - 3%
Fox: -22%
NBC: -7%
ABC: -9%

Winners
Univision: +1%
Telemundo: +7%

Latinos currently make up 19% of 18-49 year-olds.  But, nearly a quarter of Americans age 6-34 are Latinos.  (Loechner, 2013)  And, 25% of all births in America today are to Latinos.  (Lukovitz, 2013)  So we can expect those numbers to keep going up.

Advertisers clearly need to tune in.  Are you?
