Advertisers' optimism is waning. Pessimism about ad spending in broadcast TV is particularly bad, according to a new survey by market-research firm Advertising Perceptions. Almost one-third of
media buyers said they expect to decrease spending in broadcast in the next six months.
The survey also shows that a higher percentage of respondents said they would decrease their budgets in broadcast TV, magazines, newspapers, radio and outdoor this year than said they would increase their budgets in those media.
