By late 2008, advertising budgets were already being cut. Several major categories of advertisers were in trouble, most notably the automobile industry and the retail sector both of vital importance to advertising. Automobile manufacturers and dealers were struggling to stay afloat while they desperately cut spending. Meanwhile, many major retail firms had gone bankrupt in 2008, with more to follow in 2009. U.S. advertising spending will likely show a decline in 2010.

           Consumers were feeling pinched by job insecurity and immense losses in the value of their homes and investments. Discretionary spending was being cut, and many families pulled the plug on purchases of new consumer electronics, movie tickets and travel to entertainment venues such as Las Vegas.

             Broadly measured, the entertainment and media industry spans multiple sectors, from America’s 9,346 FM radio stations, to the 1.4 billion movie tickets sold each year in U.S. theaters. Also, the gambling sector is often included when considering entertainment as a whole. In America, legal gambling is estimated by various sources to be a billion to billion industry. The American Gaming Association places casino gambling in the U.S. at .1 billion during 2007. Gambling revenues were falling in late 2008, and they will be soft during 2009 due to the poor economy.
