What are the total ad dollars spent on TV advertising in 2009 vs 2008? If it hasn't been really totaled up yet, is there a projection? I'm trying to get a sense of the difference due to the economic problems and general trends away from TV advertising. If you can site a reference, all the better!

The 2009 data look to be predictions at this point; firmer numbers will be available later in 2010.

Response by poster: Thanks so much. I know the 2009 dollars are likely to be estimates for awhile, but the linked-to eMarketer article is from December 2008. Is there anything more recent?
