New York โ August 24, 2011 โ Nielsen, the leading global provider of information and analytics around what consumers watch and buy, today announced the Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation of its Puerto Rico television audience measurement service. Nielsen launched the ratings service on April 1, 2010.
MRC is a non-profit association established in 1964 to ensure valid, reliable and effective audience measurement and is composed of leading television, radio, print and Internet companies, as well as advertisers, advertising agencies and trade associations. As part of its accreditation process, MRC audits media measurement services using a rigorous series of procedures that, in this instance, included examinations of sample design, meters, monitoring and reference sources, as well as data collection and field operations procedures. The audit also reviewed ratings computations, quality control procedures, station/cable reference data, data processing operations and software quality assurance controls.
“Full accreditation of Nielsenโs Puerto Rico TV audience measurement is an exciting development and an important endorsement of the high-quality service we provide to clients,” said Victor Vazquez, Executive Director Puerto Rico, Media, Nielsen.
"Das MRC beglรผckwรผnscht Nielsen zum erfolgreichen Abschluss des Akkreditierungsverfahrens fรผr seinen puertoricanischen Dienst zur Messung der Fernsehzuschauerzahlen", sagte George W. Ivie, Executive Director und CEO des MRC. "Das Erreichen der MRC-Akkreditierung ist im heutigen Umfeld schwierig und zeigt, dass Nielsen die MRC-Standards erfรผllt, ein anerkannter Maรstab fรผr Qualitรคt und vollstรคndige Offenlegung."
