The Ratings, Your Meter, and You

Youre part of the ratings now! You are part of a select group of people that help decide what media broadcasters put on the air and what products and services you and those in your community prefer. When you wear your meter all day, every day, you make your media choices count. But wearing your meter is only the beginning of the ratings process. Lets take a closer look at what the ratings are, how it all works, and why your participation means so much...

What are the ratings?

The ratings are a summary of the radio listening, TV viewing, and other media use of people across the United States. This information is combined with demographic and other information to create ratings and research reports. These reports are key to understanding what people across the country listen to and watch.

Your meter does all the work.

Media companies and businesses that participate in our research include a unique code in their audio broadcasts. Your meter picks up this code and lets us know what media you hear throughout your dayit paints a total picture of what media content is important to YOU. The meter picks up your media choices from many different sources, including broadcast radio and TV, and cable TV. It may also pick up live or pre-recorded broadcasts on the Internet as well as media heard in stores, restaurants, movie theaters, or other businesses that participate with us in our research.
