Nielsen To Reprocess All Ratings Affected By Glitch, Begins Releasing Some Of It

by , 6 hours ago


Nielsen late Tuesday night updated clients on TV ratings that have been reprocessed following the discovery and disclosure of a “technical error” that caused a glitch in ratings for national broadcast networks and syndicated TV shows over a several-month period beginning March 2.
Nielsen said that following conversations with various clients, it now plans to reprocess all of the ratings from that date forward, and provided a timetable for various reprocessing updates.
Nielsen said that ratings from the week of Sept. 22nd -- the traditional start of the 2014-15 prime-time season -- have been reprocessed and reissued to Nielsen customers.
However, Nielsen said that reprocessed ratings for new season shows airing as earlier as Aug. 18 would not be released until Nov. 17 -- a couple of weeks later than the Oct. 31st date it originally told clients when it disclosed the glitch.
