Latest 'Buying Power' report shows black consumers spending more on home life

As the American economy continues to move sluggishly, African-American households are curtailing their spending in many categories, including food, clothing and basic household items, while investing more in home repair, home entertainment and consumer electronics.

Black households were 30 percent of the total audience viewing the game, according to Nielsen Media Research figures. The overall winner for the week was CBS, which had a total of four programs on the top ten, one of its best showings all season. UPN posted three shows, including the return of “Everybody Hates Chris.” The total number of black households viewing the top ten dropped to 13.2 million from 17.2 million the previous week. The decrease can be attributed to the loss of NBA games and usually lower summer viewing habits.
