Beginning with the birth of the industry in 1929, Tracking the Audience traces the establishment of a standardized ratings "currency" as it evolved to meet the needs of the analog broadcast system, and explores the search for new gold standards necessitated by the devastating effects of the digital revolution. Buzzard examines key challenges to the established system by discussing the movement from traditional sampling methods to new, more transparent measurements. More than a history of the ratings industry itself, it also tracks the evolving business model for the broadcast industry. Tracking the Audience: The Ratings Markets and their Currency from Analog to Digital shows how the development of conceptual tools designed to measure and package radio, TV, and Internet audiences is the result of a variety of historical factors. With a detailed examination of ratings providers, their methods, and their attempts to adjust to meet new demands a digital age, this volume explains how a standardized broadcast system of audience measurement ratings has evolved, and where it is going in the future"--Provided by publisher. 001398458 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001398458 650_0 $$aTelevision programs$$zUnited States$$xRating$$xHistory. 001398458 650_0 $$aRadio programs$$zUnited States$$xRating$$xHistory. 001398458 650_0 $$aTelevision viewers$$zUnited States$$xMeasurement$$xHistory. 001398458 650_0 $$aRadio audiences$$zUnited States$$xMeasurement$$xHistory. 001398458 650_0 $$aAnalog electronic systems. 001398458 650_0 $$aDigital electronics. 001398458 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBuzzard, Karen.$$tTracking the audience.$$dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2012$$z9780805858518$$w(DLC) 2011041079$$w(OCoLC)192080484 001398458 8520_ $$bacq 001398458 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001398458 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=957903$$zOnline Access 001398458 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452160$$pGLOBAL_SET 001398458 980__ $$aEBOOK 001398458 980__ $$aBIB 001398458 982__ $$aEbook 001398458 983__ $$aOnline 001398458 994__ $$a92$$bISE 001398458 999__ $$z634864987929139551
