I don't know what happens now but, back in the Day, Some small portion of the population (maybe 0.1%) would actually be surveyed as to what they watched on their T.V.'s, how many in the Household watched, the economic standing of household members, etc, and these numbers were multiplied up to give 'population' numbers. Is this still, effectively, what happens in Britain and Ireland?? If so, I could understand why it might take sooooo long for Disney to come up with a number for the rest of the world. -- Daniel
