Some 3,700 stations and 2,600 advertising agencies and advertisers subscribe to the surveys. In addition, the company monitors cable and satellite TV viewership, measures newspaper and magazine circulation, collects consumer purchasing and lifestyle information, and provides ratings analysis software.
