Audience measurement organisations

In addition, its RADIOPROJECT includes a sample of 1,000 respondents surveyed monthly and the results are published every 3-month moving average, thus the overall sample amounts to 3,000 respondents. The results are published monthly. The data contain basic information about radios, possibility of reception, listenership from last week and yesterday, with detailed indicators and shares, including the basic demographics of the respondent. The adMeter technology was launched onto the market in 2012 as part of a pilot radio and television audience measurement.
