Oops! In our story “Nick runs the numbers of Team Umizoomi” (May/June 2011, pg. 14), we incorrectly stated that the Umizoomi Math Kits would be available at Toys ‘R’ Us
in 2012, when they in fact launched at the retailer on July 1.
“Lay of the Land” (May/June 2011, pg. 28), which profiled Italy, did not include Switchover Media’s preschool channel Frisbee in the market share data. It currently
has a 2.9% share of the youth channel audience. Also, the youth category measured for Italy is kids 4 to 14, not 4 to 15 as printed.
