Welcome to the Arbitron TV and Radio Ratings!
Your part in these ratings is very important! We are counting on you and
everyone in your household age 6 and older to tell us what you watch on
television and what you listen to on the radio. With your information, TV and
radio stations and others in the TV and radio industries can learn more about
the programs that are watched or listened to.
All you have to do is wear your Personal Meter every day from the time you rise
until you retire for the day. Right before you go to bed, remember to put your
Personal Meter in its Recharger. That’s all there is to it!
We want to make sure all your listening and viewing is included in the
ratings—no matter how much or how little you watch TV or listen to the radio.
As our way of thanking you, there is a point system with rewards for wearing
your Personal Meter, so the more you wear your Personal Meter, the more you
can earn as a reward.
This booklet explains the bonuses and the messages you will see on the
Personal Meter’s Recharger. It also describes the equipment in your home and
tells you what to do in case you have a problem or a question.
Remember, just as you are helping us, we are here to help you. If you ever need
to contact us for any reason, please call your Arbitron Ratings representative
listed on the cover of this book.
We think you will enjoy being a part of this ratings panel, and we thank you for
joining.
Sincerely,
Steve Morris
President, Arbitron Radio Ratings
