What can one company do to improve audience measurement? It is a simple and certain fact that any improvements in any industry come from the innovator . . . the developer of new and advanced techniques. Isn't it more likely then that future refinements in audience research will come from a company who has consistently contributed these advances for more than a decade? ARB thinks it is . . . and we're set on proving it. The quickest review of ARB's contributions will indicate we were first to use the interview-supervised family viewing diary for syndicated television audience measurement ... to offer instantaneous television audience measurement via ARBITRON . . . to implement a means within the diary to record viewing by individual members of the family . . . to provide detailed information on the survey area . . . to define and survey total market areas ... to provide simultaneous audience measurement for every television station in every U. S. market . . . and, to expand local audience composition estimates. And these are only some of ARB's contributions. While these advancements have been incorporated as beneficial additions to ARB reports, they are by no means the end. Responsibility to both clients and ourselves dictates continued leadership in audience research through self-initiated search for improvements.
