Diaries Get Reprieve; Nielsen Defers to Clients

“It’s become clear based on your input, that the model does not align with how many of you sell your ad inventory, nor sufficiently take into account the week-to-week variability in programming lineups,” Nielsen said in a letter to clients.

Hate to say I told you so, but Nielsen has a decade-long history of making big plans and announcements and then never actually rolling out the service.  Remember mailable meters?

So, for another year at least, local Nielsen clients can be assured their local programs will have demographics based on their own station's audience.   Was that so hard, Nielsen?
