Nielsen hath chosen...

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Nielsen hath chosen...

...me, for this sweeps period.

Muhahahahahahahahah!

:twisted:

Actually, I don't watch much TV anymore. They should've contacted me ten years ago...

I have never heard from Arbritron to date.

I wonder how Neilson counts Tivo and Web viewing. That's about the only way I watch TV anymore.

They ask if you have a DVR. I remember reading somewhere that time shifting counts.

They also ask if you have a landline phone, or strictly cell. Presumably, this is one of the reasons why younger demos have been under-represented in Arbritron/Nielsen. At least they're trying to correct this.

I mailed the form out today. We'll see what happens.

Oh yeah, I also got two crisp, one-dollar bills.

:D

Technically, all viewing kinda counts in some way at some point, but it's only "same-day" time-shifted viewing that really counts.


("Same-day," I believe, means something recorded 5a-4:59a is all done being watched by 4:59a....but don't quote me.....)

"Yes, you do; you just won't admit it!"
