Services

Nielsen Media Research is the world-famous TV Ratings company. Nielsen Media Research is active in more than 40 countries, we offer television/radio audience measurement, print readership and custom media research services.

Nielsen Media Research also provides competitive advertising intelligence information through Nielsen Monitor-Plus in the U.S. and 30 other markets worldwide. Through a network of affiliates, our coverage is extended to more than 70 countries, representing 85% of the world's advertising spending.

In addition, Nielsen collects Internet usage and advertising information through Nielsen//NetRatings. Marketed globally under one brand, the Nielsen//NetRatings services are provided via a partnership among NetRatings, Nielsen Media Research and ACNielsen.

Clients use Nielsen Media Research's television audience research information to buy and sell television time as well as to make program decisions. That information is the currency in all the transactions between buyers and sellers, which adds up to more than $60 billion in national and local advertising spending in the U.S. each year. Without an independent, third-party measurement system embracing the highest standards of accuracy and integrity, the television marketplace could not function effectively. Assuring the value of this currency is the Number One priority of Nielsen Media Research.

Local ratings estimates are produced for television stations, regional cable networks, MSOs, cable interconnects, and Spanish language stations in each of the 210 television markets in the U.S., including electronic metered service in 56 metered markets.
