Correct notation for Nielsen TV viewing data.

With the introduction of TSV (Time Shifted Viewing) data, it is now possible to use Live, Live+VOSDAL or Consolidated data for internal/external reports, presentations, press releases and websites.

In order to ensure clarity and consistency of communication, TAM Ireland is asking that all use of the Nielsen TV viewing data be correctly notated, as follows:

Source: the source should be annoted as 'TAM Ireland Ltd/Nielsen TAM'.

Data: the data used must be noted (Live, Live+VOSDAL or Consolidated).

Audience/Panel Type: the specific audience used to generate figures must be included.

Time Period: the calender dates used to generate the data must be included.

Daypart: the daypart used (e.g. All Day, peak or specific minutes).

Audience/Panel Type: the specific audience used to generate figures must be included.

An example would be:

Source: TAM Ireland Ltd/ Nielsen TAM, Live data, National Individuals, November 2010, Mon-Sun 03.00-26.59

Following these procedures will benefit all users and ensure clarity of communication.
