»Continued work on Leapfrog planned for 2012
»Still too early to talk about implementation dates
12© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
Cell Phone Sample Increase for Fall 2011
»Cell phone sample increase to 20% average in Fall 2011•Additional points will be allocated where historical P18-34 performance has been lowest, and P18-34 composition of cell phone frame has been highest (relative to landline)
•Screener survey process to support this increase has begun•About 40% of markets will receive additional cell phone sample allocation; no markets decline
13© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
Promised Incentive Expansion - Fall 2011
»Promised Incentives for P18-34 planned in four book markets in Fall 2011 •Promised Incentives are higher premiums paid upon receipt of completed diaries at Arbitron in place of up-front cash
•All two book markets currently receive young adult promised incentive
•Markets are broken into two groups for Promised Incentive administration:– Households that contain P18-34 only– Households that include P18-34 and other demos

Digital Radio Reporting
»Audience estimates for any HD-multicast station or radio station Internet stream that meets minimum reporting standards
»Beginning with Summer 2011 survey for local market services; Fall 2011 for national services
»Roster of commercial stations eligible for reporting now the same in Diary- and PPM-measured markets

PPM Panel Quality Initiatives
17© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
Finer Level of Geographic Control
»New geographies (Geo-Zones) are now in place in all PPM markets • GeoZones are clusters of zip codes nested within a sampling unit
»Designed to help further improve geographic representation• Aid in selecting and managing sample at a more discrete level
• Weighting and reporting to continue using existing sampling unit
» Implementation schedule• March 2011- Geographic zones added in High Density Black and Hispanic areas
• August 2011 - Geographic zones added in remaining areas
18© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
Finer Level Of Geographic Control Example for Wayne County in Detroit
Wayne HDBA = green/gold shaded zonesWayne Balance = pink/purple/red shaded zones
After: Two sample units (same as before) New: each divided into 5 separate Geo-Zones
Wayne HDBA = greenWayne Balance = blue
Before: Two sample units(Wayne HDBA and Wayne Balance)
19© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
Transition to Address-Based Sample
»Designed to help improve the representation of households in the panel• If we can ‘match’ the address to a phone number, we will continue to call the household to participate
• Otherwise, we will send a survey to the household to begin the recruitment process
»On average, approximately one quarter of our current sample comes from an Address-based Sample frame
» Implementation schedule• August 2011: Selection and enumeration of new address-based sample began
• December 2011: New addressed-based sample available for recruitment
• Note - already selected telephone-based sample will continue to remain in the sample until expiration
20© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
In-Person Recruitment
»Targeted to recruit households we cannot reach on a landline phone - including younger panelists and minorities
»Recruiting those who do not return a screener survey from Address-based Frame
» Implementation began in 2010 in the High Density Black and Hispanic areas in approximately half of the PPM Markets
21© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
In-Person Recruitment
»July - December 2010: Implemented in High Density Areas of approximately half of the PPM Markets
»August 2011: Expand to HDAs of 3 new markets: Columbus, West Palm Beach and Orlando
»September 2011: Expand to remaining geographies in existing IPR markets (the non-HDA portion)
»October - December 2011: Complete rollout to all geographic areas in all 48 PPM Markets
22© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
PPM 360 Update
» The new PPM 360-enabled meter • Allows for mobile data retrieval• Easier to set up, use and charge• Sleeker, smaller design• Text screen for communication and reinforcement
» Evaluation period began in August• Augments extensive testing previously conducted
including code detection tests, field tests, and cellular coverage tests
• Designed to confirm the technical performance of PPM 360 technology within the syndicated service prior to providing it for all new households
• No more than 6% of panelist households expected to have their equipment replaced during the evaluation period
Census: What’s Going to Happen In Fall/October
24© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
What’s Happening in Fall/October
»2010-based Census data projected to January 1, 2012, in use for the Claritas’ Fall/October 2011 Population Estimates Updates•Specifically: Total Persons 0+ and Black and Hispanic Persons 18+
– 2010-based Census Age/Sex data available January/Winter 2012
»New Market Rankings based on these Fall/October updates•Also based on several Diary market definitions changes
25© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
2010-based Census Data Projected to January 1, 2012
»Arbitron’s population estimates are updated every year•Limited impact on Arbitron ratings in most markets•Most decade-to-decade population shifts have been accounted for
»Most markets show little change in total persons estimates from Fall 2010 to Fall 2011•Age/sex by race/ethnicity estimates for Fall/October weighting will use 2000-based Census data
»Most markets have very similar black and Hispanic 18+ population percentages to previous years•Should be limited population-driven impacts on black and/or Hispanic Arbitron ratings
26© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
PPM: New Full Time Employment Data Source
»Original source for Arbitron’s PPM Full Time employment data was Census 2000•The employment question moved to the American Community Survey and not included in 2010 census
•Employment data from American Community Survey not fresh enough for Arbitron metro area
»New source is Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Current Population Survey•Will use a 12-month rolling average of adults (18+) usually employed FT and the total number of adults
•Employment estimates will continue to be prepared by Claritas
»Benefit: More up to date Full Time employment estimates
27© 2011 Arbitron Inc.
What’s Next…
»2010-based Census Age/Sex population estimates from Claritas will soon be received •Weighting based on 2010-based Age/Sex updates effective Winter/January (and Spring 2012 for two book diary markets)
»Updated Language Usage Pop Estimates for December/Winter
»Newly qualifying Differential Survey Treatment markets for Spring/April
