WWRS 2017 Presents Nielsen Audio PPM: The Currency – ‘Getting A Firm Grip On Ratings Reality’

PPM Ratings - You Ask The Questions

WORLDWIDE RADIO SUMMIT 2017 is set for MAY MAY 3rd, 4th, 5th at the W HOTEL, HOLLYWOOD, presented by ALL ACCESS and A&R WORLDWIDE.  Recently, we announced the KEYNOTE SESSION: "Global Audio, The Evolution And Next Phase -- Live, Digital, On Demand!" It's radio's future! That's brought on many EARLY BIRD REGISTRATIONS and room bookings at the W HOTEL.

Now WWRS 2017 brings you arguably the next most important session of the event.  THURSDAY, MAY 4th, at 10:40a, make sure you are on hand for NIELSEN AUDIO PPM: THE CURRENCY – "Getting A Firm Grip On Ratings Reality”.

There are many pressing concerns and some downright anger on the part of broadcasters toward NIELSEN AUDIO PPM methodology – particularly sample size, accuracy and costs.  PPM data not only affects radio ratings, revenue and jobs, but a myriad of research, both transactional and on-going. The bottom line – everyone wants the data to be correct.  

WWRS 2017 will soon solicit the industry's input on PPM -- what's right, what's wrong, and how to make PPM data more usable.  That input will be presented in a most unique and important session where no softballs will be thrown.  Honesty and transparency are the expected results.

Moderated by:

• ERICA FARBER – Pres./CEO, RAB

Panelists:

• BRAD KELLY – Managing Director, NIELSEN AUDIO  
• JUSTIN CHASE – VP/Programming, BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP 
• PHILIPPE GENERAL – President, RCS, MEDIABASE 
• RICK CUMMINGS – Pres./Programming, EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS
