The forecast, which was made by ZenithOptimedia and published by Wirtualne Media, goes on to say that the contraction in TV ad spend will also be 4.1%, the total falling to PLN3.849 billion in 2009.
The biggest fall is nevertheless likely to be in the newspaper sector (down by 14.6%), while the internet will grow by 16.8% to reach PLN862 million.
Cinema is the only other medium likely to see increased ad expenditure in 2009.
