As we venture into 2025, the landscape of market measurement in the audio is undergoing a significant transformation. Nielsen Audio has recently unveiled a groundbreaking shift from quarterly or biannual reporting to a year-round monthly reporting system for markets assessed using the audio diary. This shift towards more frequent and dynamic measurement not only allows clients to adapt swiftly to seasonal fluctuations but also empowers radio stations to showcase their reach to advertisers on a monthly basis.
Continuous Diary Measurement Implementation
Beginning in phases, this new approach will roll out starting in July 2019 for markets currently assessed quarterly. The transition will see the conversion of existing four-book markets into 12 currency releases, each encompassing three months of data. By July 2019, 70% of radio advertising expenditure will be monitored monthly by Nielsen Audio.
