Nielsen Buys Arbitron
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/nielsen-to-buy-arbitron-for-1-26-billion/
The foot soldiers of Arbitron might be wondering why they had to sacrifice years of their life for this outcome. I'm sure no one who suffered from the competition between the two will get any part of the 1.26 billion. (Full disclosure: I was part of Arbitron's TV & Cable business from 87 through its death in 1994, so I have been in their shoes.)
On the other hand, Nielsen does get working audio-driven, passive personal people-meters out of the deal.. Arbitron was working on them as a replacement for ScanAmerica's STB back in 91, so they've had some time to get it right.
Nielsen's not been the best at following through on announced technology roll-outs. (Remember mailable meters?) What they are good at, it seems, is spending money to buy out competition.

NBC Says They (Will) Win November Sweeps
WITH A CURRENT GAIN OF 17 PERCENT VERSUS THE YEAR-AGO SWEEP IN ADULTS 18-49, NBC MOVES FROM #4 IN NOVEMBER 2011 TO #1 IN 2012NBC’S SCHEDULE INCLUDES THE SWEEP’S #1 SERIES IN 18-49, ‘SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL’; THE #1 UNSCRIPTED SERIES, ‘THE VOICE’; THE #1 NEW DRAMA, ‘REVOLUTION’; AND THE #1 NEW COMEDY, ‘GO ON’NBC’S 2.8 FOR THE SWEEP TO DATE IS A FOUR-YEAR HIGH AND THE CURRENT 17 PERCENT LEAD OVER SECOND PLACE MATCHES THE BIGGEST NOVEMBER MARGIN FOR ANY NET IN 10 YEARSWith 25 of 28 nights counted in the November sweep, NBC is averaging a 2.8 rating, up 17 percent versus NBC’s 2.4 rating at the conclusion the November 2011 sweep. In averages through Sunday, Nov. 18, NBC leads sweep runner-up CBS by 0.4 of a point or 17 percent, with Monday through Wednesday results yet to be factored into sweep averages. If NBC finishes the sweep with that 17 percent margin, it will match the biggest advantage for any network in a November sweep since NBC won by 19 percent in 2002 (Fox also won by 17 percent in 2009).
How many markets will be allowed to use November sweeps data due to Sandy? Still no final word.

Clients have been updated.
If Since Notre Dame WILL goes for the BCS Championship, this show will have a very large audience.

On a personal note, my thoughts and prayers turn to Alabama, where the biggest Roll Tide fan I know will be resting up at home in front of a big fire and a plasma TV on Saturday before he takes a trip to Texas on Monday.
Sorry, Rudy... I've got a different hero I'm rooting for this year.
