THE POWER TO CHOOSE. The Griffin Television Report offers the ability to cusomize the report in the following areas:

Geographic Area. We measure the geographic area that you choose. This can be the DMA, a Metro area, or one or more counties that best match your station's coverage area.

Cable Networks - we typically measure the networks that show local advertising

Aided Recall Program Viewing - choose the programs you particularly want to sell

Buying Habits - choose the products and services that are important in your market

Local Publications - such as shopper publications or local interest magazines

Timing of measurement. We will conduct the measurement at the point in the year that you choose.

SOFTWARE YOU CAN USE. The Griffin Reports software is extremely powerful and easy to use. It puts you in control of the data by allowing you to sort the data by any item in the database. We put the entire database in your hands rather than summary data, so you aren't limited by pre-defined cross-tabs or mathematical formulas to estimate important information such as net reach across media.

INFORMATION YOU CAN TRUST. The Griffin Television Report uses single-source telephone interviews to provide you with the highest accuracy in the survey data. The Griffin Television Report also uses population-proportional-to-size sampling to ensure the proper distribution of age, gender, race, ethnicity, and geographic location by zip code for the respondents in the sample.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT. Griffin Media Research offers unmatched training and support for our clients. We will conduct on-site training as often as you need it for no additional fees other than travel costs. We offer web-based one-on-one training for your entire sales staff on an as-needed basis. So when you hire new A.E.s, you can get them up to speed on using the Griffin Television Report quickly. We stand ready to assist you and your staff in the practical application of the data.
