“The New York City Council’s decision to call on the Federal Communications Commission to investigate Arbitron’s Portable People Meter (PPM) system should serve as a wakeup call for local governments and minority communities around the nation. Arbitron’s flawed PPM ratings methodology will severely harm media diversity and ultimately limit the variety of voices and viewpoints on our country’s radio airwaves. It is a real threat, not only to minority communities but could also have a devastating impact on local economies and needs to be taken seriously. The PPM ratings methodology should not be rolled out until all concerns are effectively addressed.
