New Univision Ratings Deal Covers Digital

Univision signed a new agreement to use Nielsen’s National and Local Digital in TV Ratings services.

The agreement means that the Univision and UniMás networks, as well as local affiliate stations, will receive audience estimates of linear television content viewing on mobile and computer devices. The audience contribution from digital devices will be included in the TV ratings.

Univision and UniMás are the first Spanish-language broadcast networks to include digital audiences in the linear TV ratings. They are also the second and third networks of any type to include digital audiences.

And Univision Now — Univision’s direct to consumer, subscription-service available on iOS, Android and the Web — is the first Spanish-language OTT service to be certified for Nielsen's Digital in TV Ratings measurement.
