In
1964, the American Research Bureau did only TV
measurement. It would be about a year before they
launched radio ratings in Detroit, going national over
the next years.
In the 70's, we would call the
radio ratings "Arb's" but not before Arbitron gained
agency acceptance and caused Hooper ("Hooperatings") and
The Pulse to fall by the wayside as buying tools.
Of
course, ARB has grown, and visitors no longer have to
park on the grass.
