Survey Schedule for Diary and PPM Services: 2011 - 2013
Arbitron presently conducts radio ratings surveys using one of two methods: Paper Diaries or the Portable People Meter (PPM™).
Arbitron's diary-based radio surveys are conducted over a 12-week period. In the larger markets, there are four 12-week surveys per year (winter, spring, summer and fall), totaling 48 weeks of radio measurement. Arbitron audience estimates represent radio listening during an average week of a particular quarterly survey period. Markets that are part of Arbitron's Small Market Initiative receive a two-book average of the most current survey and the previous survey.
Arbitron's radio audience measurement system, the Portable People Meter (PPM™), has replaced Arbitron's diary-based ratings within the Top 50 radio metros. PPM™ markets have year-round measurement; there are thirteen monthly reports (including a winter holiday report), as well as weekly reporting.
