Has Anyone Else Been Contacted About Being A Nielsen Viewer?


They called me today. Have you been part of the sample? What's it like, and how long do they keep you on?

reply

Survey yes, viewer no. They phoned me and asked me what television and radio stations I had listened to that day. Next they found out I was a white older male living alone they had no more questions.

a few weeks later I received 2 $1 bills from them in the mail with a note of thanks.

reply

Mine was different. They profiled me (I'm the same demographic as you are), asked me how I watched (Dish, DVR), and verified my address.

There were no questions about that day's listening, but they did ask about what general content (drama, comedy) I watched. They said they would send me a diary, in which I'm to record my viewing and return to them, postage-paid.

We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll be screened out, too.

reply

No. Did they ever say how you were selected. I know they say random, but is that true?

reply


Nope.

I was a Nielsen viewer for a short time but it was about 20 years ago. I suspect I didn't watch enough TV to satisfy them because my stint lasted only about a month or so. Or maybe I wasn't watching the 'right' shows... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
