Arbitron to defends against NY AG.

Arbitron Inc. released the following statement in response to ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The ruling does not impact Arbitron’s right to publish our Portable People Meter audience estimates in New York. We asked the federal court to protect our right to provide the radio industry with the up-to-date PPM audience estimates it needs. Following our efforts, the New York Attorney General chose not to seek a temporary restraining order adversely impacting our right to produce PPM estimates.

Now that Arbitron has commercialized the PPM service in New York and other key markets, we look forward to defending our interests.
