Arbitron has released an announcement confirming the fact that it has gone live with the PPM in eight markets and reminding subscribers that the data should now be used as currency in those markets.
The September 2008 PPM ratings are “actionable and timely estimates that the radio advertising industry needs in order to conduct its business,” Arbitron says.
In response to the variety of conflict surrounding the PPM, Arbitron chairman-president CEO Steve Morris said, “Radio broadcasters, agencies, and advertisers independently determine whether or not to subscribe to Arbitron’s services and can freely decide how they wish to use our services in their business transactions. Our goal with the commercialization of the PPM is to help radio remain competitive in an increasingly challenging media marketplace.
