ARKANSANS LIKE THEIR satellite television.
Arkansas ranks seventh in the nation for penetration of the satellite television
market, at 22.85 percent. And with 281,207 subscribers, Arkansas places 18th in
the nation for the number of subscribers, according to the Satellite Broadcasting
and Communications Association.
The reason Arkansas has so many satellite TV subscribers could be that it's a more rural state and it's hard to get cable service in some areas, said DirecTV spokesman Robert Mercer.
