Nielson Ratings

[DavidMn]

I dont know if even the CIA could get to the bottom of how radio or TV ratings are actually compiled.

Don't real, long term Neilson Families have some sort of little box attached to their tv so that when a show is on that they are watching, or about to watch, they can key in somehow the data, which is sent directly to Neilson... How else would they get their over night info so quickly... They seem to know the very next morning what everone watched the night before.

Yes, I think you're right. I was just told I will have a journal of sorts, and will do this for a week or two.
