Got Breathing Space? An AP newswire report indicates that he average American home now has more televison sets than people. That threshold was crossed within the past two years, according to Nielsen Media Research.

There are 2.73 TV sets in the typical home and 2.55 people, the researchers said. Half of American homes have three or more TVs, and only 19 percent have just one, Nielsen said. In 1975, 57 percent of homes had only a single set and 11 percent had three or more, the company said.
