Thursday, June 26th at 9:05 AM | The Role of Currency in the Age of Streaming

Back when TV was broadcast, you had no idea who was watching what without a sample (diaries, meter, panel, etc.) Without the Nielsen ratings, video consumption was a total unknown. Ratings made the unknown known. Hence their value. But Amazon and Hulu and Disney+ and Peacock all know exactly how many streams they sent, to which devices, and for how long, In this context, a Nielsen isn’t making the unknown known. Consumption (at least for stuff distributed digitally) is inherently known. So what are the implications of this for the currency measurement space?

Wednesday, June 25th at 9:10am | AI in TV Audience Measurement

The US TV audience measurement industry has spent decades honing the ways it can best capture the viewing habits of actual people. The task grew monumentally harder as viewing fragmented across screens, devices and platforms. Now, with the rapid expansion of AI, the question to consider is whether or how we can incorporate AI into our audience measurement practices. This panel will delve into that, sharing what is being done with AI, what is planned, and what this all means for the buying and selling of TV audiences.
