Nielsen has announced that reached a long-term agreement for national and local TV ratings measurement with Univision Communications Inc.
With this new multi-year agreement, all Univision’s properties including Univision Network, UniMás Network, Univision Deportes (UDN), Galavision Network, El Rey and 36 Univision and UniMás Local TV stations across 19 local markets and Puerto Rico will have continued access to Nielsen’s broad suite of measurement and analytics services.
For the first time, as part of this new agreement, Univision will join as subscribers to Nielsen SVOD Content Ratings, Local Nielsen Media Impact (Local NMI) and Nielsen National Out-of-Home (OOH) Reporting Service. With Nielsen SVOD Content Ratings, Univision will now have competitive insights into how its content compares to other programs including original programming from SVOD services.
Additionally, Univision will now begin to use Nielsen’s OOH measurement service to capture and understand the viewing habits of Hispanic consumers away from the home.
“As the leading media company engaging Hispanic consumers, Univision works with the major research and analytics companies in the business to ensure accurate and representative data on the media consumption of Hispanic audiences, as well as the impact it has on brand growth, regardless of the platform or connection that they are using,” commented Roberto Ruiz, EVP of Research, Insights and Analytics at Univision.
He added, “within this framework, our renewed agreement with Nielsen ensures accurate measurement as our audience continues to evolve across screens and platforms, in and out of the home. With an enhanced suite of tools we will deliver to our clients the whole picture of the unique, engaged audience they can connect with to generate brand growth messages—now with even greater clarity on local markets and radio. Furthermore, our agreement ensures that Univision remains at the forefront of innovative new technologies in a rapidly evolving media marketplace.”
