In reply to the discussion: Quicken Loans pulls ads from Rush Limbaugh show [View all]Beartracks
(12,809 posts)44. Cool, had to go look it up. The "Portable People Meter."
"The PPM is a wearable portable device much like a pager or cell phone, that electronically gathers inaudible codes that identify the source of a broadcast, such as a radio station. Arbitron recruits and compensates a cross section of consumers to wear the meter for an average of one year and up to two years. The audience estimates generated from each monthly survey is used as the buy/sell currency for radio stations and advertisers/agencies."
