American Spirit Media selects Nielsen for local TV measurement

Nielsen, a global player in audience measurement, data and analytics, has announced an expanded multi-year agreement for Local TV measurement with American Spirit Media, based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

American Spirit has chosen Nielsen as its exclusive measurement partner for Local TV measurement in the six markets where it operates major network affiliated stations (Jackson, MS, Wichita Falls & Lawton, Lake Charles, LA, Wilmington, NC, Toledo and Columbus, GA). This new agreement also includes an expanded set of Nielsen Local TV solutions including Ad Intel, Nielsen’s comprehensive source of competitive Local media advertising intelligence..

With Nielsen measurement, American Spirit will have the most holistic view of its audiences across its platforms to better serve advertisers and make critical programming decisions.

Tom Henson, President, and CEO, American Spirit Media: “American Spirit Media is pleased to use Nielsen’s industry-trusted Local TV ratings and ad intelligence to power our content and advertising strategies across all of our markets. In an increasingly fragmented environment, having the right measurement partner is essential in order to make meaningful decisions and optimize successful strategies for our stations and our advertisers in the years to come.”

Paul LeFort, Managing Director of Local TV business, Nielsen: “We’re excited to expand our partnership with American Spirit and deliver the critical Local TV insights they need to drive audience and revenue opportunities across their footprint. Our commitment to strong Local media operators like American Spirit is a responsibility we take seriously at Nielsen.
