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.
