Spot Television Methodology Basics COMMERCIAL OCCURRENCES Monitor-Plus captures local TV advertising spots with a duration between 10-120 seconds that fall within a 5AM-2AM broadcast day, as of October 2003 data. Prior to October 2003, monitoring hours were 6AM-1AM. Monitor-Plus utilizes a network of computerized monitoring sites designed specifically to collect and identify program occurrence information. Patented technology known as passive pattern recognition allows Monitor-Plus to identify commercials and other broadcast material based on their unique audio and video content. EXPENDITURE DATA The source for Nielsen Monitor-Plus expenditure data is SQAD Cost Per Point (CPP) information which is based upon actual spot television buys placed by various media buying services. The costs for spots on non-spanish stations are computed using SQAD s Low Household CPP data by daypart and Nielsen Station Index (NSI) Quarter Hour ratings data. Expenditures for direct response commercials are computed at 50 percent of estimated expenditure rates of other commercial types, to more closely represent their actual purchase price. GROSS RATING POINTS Spots are associated with the NSI Viewers in Profile (ViP) ratings by report book month, station, day of week and quarter hour. In set-meter and LPM markets, quarter-hour metered ratings are available for Household data. ViP sweep data is available for all set-meter and diary markets for November, February, May and July diary panels. October, January and March are also available in appropriate markets. As of January 2005, demographic data is available for all twelve cycles in LPM markets. Demographic ratings in LPM markets for data prior to January 2005 are available for pre-lpm measurement periods only. Since most occurrence data is available prior to the completion of the ViP book, ratings may be estimated by applying the most recent sweep period to the DMA HUT/PUT viewing levels of the prior year s sweep period. The November estimate uses the May station share. For more detailed methodology information, go to the Message Center in Ad*Views, select the Monitor-Plus Methodology folder and double-click on a Media Type.
