Last August, Nielsen announced the launch of Continuous Diary Measurement (CDM). CDM positions radio on a level playing field with other media such as digital and TV, and it helps clients react more quickly to marketplace changes. CDM also helps reduce “bounce” in the ratings with rolling samples designed to provide a more consistent and stable view of the market.
This past May, Nielsen announced the expansion of Local NMI into 44 local markets. Local NMI provides unparalleled local media planning and cross-platform optimization including TV, radio and digital outlets in each of the 44 Local NMI markets.
