  16. Purchase Panels • respondents record their purchases • NPD, MRCA, NFO • can be done on the Internet

  17. Media Panels • electronic devices automatically record viewing behavior • Nielsen Television index • n = 5000 households • supplemented with audilogs (who was watching) • number and % of all TV households viewing a given show • disaggregated by 10 demographic and socioeconomic characteristics • useful for media selection
