FCC figures do indicate roughly 20% of the audience nationally is still
using an antenna as their only source of TV. (this figure varies wildly
between markets) A considerably larger number of people have
cable/satellite on some TVs but also have some sets that aren't connected.

20% is definitely a minority, but it does reflect 60 million Americans!
