I hope you feel better soon, AC. You're still the same citizen as yesterday, it's probably okay to assume this wasn't the first time things like that happened, Nielson guys pays you, I've heard they are extra nice, this post sounds like a part of life hiccups, not an emergency to get up and go. Being a Nielsen household is something special, seriously, they rely on your participation, and the country men in your country still watch tv shows, meaning they wouldn't do anything to mess up your life nor ruin the reputation as a monopoly in the industry.  |
it is for both viewing tv shows and commercials, if you type in the words Nielson box you will be able to access their official website that explains the box monitors and measures but tv show viewing habits and the viewing habits of the commercials. the Nielson company uses the term consumer purchasing because now days even tv shows can and are purchased in some locations via cable, and other tv services.
if you type in the phrase how do networks know ratings and what to cancel you will find loads of information that say they use the Neilson box information on what shows get what number of ratings. you can also contact individual networks and they will also tell you how the Neilson box figures in with their cancelling or saving shows for another season.
