Due to lack of competition, during the first 30 years of American television the Big Three’s collective share of viewership during the prime-time hours (8 pm to 11 pm, or 7 pm to 10 pm in some locations) was typically 95 percent or more. By the early 1960s more than 600 television stations, 541 of them commercial, were on the air, collectively broadcasting to about 90 percent of all homes in the United States. By the beginning of the 21st century, these numbers had increased to more than 1,200 commercial and about 370 public stations, and broadcasts were reaching more than 98 percent of homes in the United States.
