fishing pole terraria Advertisers who want to know how many people Nielsen counted watching “60 Minutes” or “Yellowstone” on TV networks owned by Paramount Global may have to work a little harder to understand what all the information means. In a memo sent Friday to executives at major ad-buying agencies, John Halley, president of Paramount’s ad sales efforts, said Paramount ratings data may be more difficult to understand after a new product update by the measurement giant. The two sides have been at odds since October 1, when Paramount revealed it would not renew its deal with Nielsen , citing pricing increases and the easier availability of other measurement technology. “Paramount will continue to provide Nielsen with the first party schedule and program information they require to accurately measure our viewership, including live events, as we always have. To be clear, Nielsen will be in possession of the relevant data but will be suppressing your access to that data,” Halley said in his memo. “This decision was made by Nielsen and will affect the value and utility of your Nielsen data and tool licenses.” Nielsen said it continues to make Paramount data available to clients, albeit not in the same way as in the recent past. “All of our clients continue to have a full view of the marketplace, as Nielsen continues to measure Paramount networks and streaming services. However, we have removed Paramount data from transactional files. We have made this data available in good faith over the past three months, even without Paramount as a client,” Nielsen said in a statement. “Removing this transactional data is a necessary step to safeguard the investments of our paying partners. We remain open to future collaboration with Paramount under fair terms. We are engaged with select clients who are impacted and we’re guiding them through this update.” Paramount has been relying on data from VideoAmp, one of a growing number of rivals to Nielsen, to help advertisers track the number of people who watch programming across Paramount’s portfolio of media assets. And yet, there has been some cause for debate. VideoAmp measures of audience for shows such as “Yellowstone” have in certain cases been higher than what Nielsen has counted. Nielsen’s tabulation remains the industry standard, and has the backing of industry monitor the Media Rating Council, though VideoAmp has been adopted by many major media organizations and media buying agencies. At issue is a long-running complaint from TV networks that Nielsen isn’t measuring the many different audiences for their programming as well as it should , even as Nielsen continues to put forward new technology and concepts. As smartphones, mobile tablets and broadband-connected TVs gain more consumer acceptance, audiences are increasingly able to stream their TV favorites in on-demand fashion, making the task of counting them exponentially more difficult. TV networks have long based their advertising rates on Nielsen’s measure of linear TV audiences, which have slipped as consumers embraced Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and other streaming and on-demand options. An industry consortium that counts Paramount, NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery and others as members has given its backing to both VideoAmp and Comscore, another measurement competitor. At the same time, Paramount is under extreme pressure to cut costs. The company is about to be acquired by Skydance Media, and its current management team has already begun working to trim $500 million from its operating structure. Skydance Media has articulated a plan under which it would reduce costs by another $1.5 billion. In the memo, Paramount’s Halley vowed to continue to keep buyers and advertisers informed. “We will continue to send you stewardship, plans, etc., in terms of alternative currency, and will work with your teams to provide holistic supply looks at the market, in terms of that data, for use in your upfront planning,” he said. “We understand this is disruptive. We will bear as much of the operational burden as possible, and will continue to strive to be the best partners in the market.”

Ukraine Defense Minister Discusses Boosting Security With South Korean PresidentVANCOUVER — Taylor Swift's three-night run at BC Place, closing out the pop star's global Eras Tour, generated daily economic impact for Vancouver that could rival the 2010 Olympics and smashed data streaming records, industry figures say. The CEO of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, Ian Tostenson, said the shows that ended Sunday had an effect that went far beyond other concert or sporting events in the city. Tostenson said Monday that his group estimates there was a $25 million boost for Metro Vancouver’s establishments for each of the three show days. In comparison, a sold-out, highly anticipated Vancouver Canucks playoff game brings an estimated $3 million a day in economic impact, Tostenson said. “In the context of comparing to anything else, it’s not even believable almost — it’s such a huge impact,” Tostenson said. “I was out a little bit on Friday and Saturday, and every place I went to was absolutely lined up and packed.” Tostenson said the concerts rivalled the Olympics in drawing fans from regions far beyond what a typical playoff hockey game would, and while it is difficult to compare the 2010 Winter Games to the Taylor Swift weekend, the events were in the same magnitude in daily impact on restaurants. “The financial impact of the Olympics was massive, (but) it was spread out over a couple weeks in different venues and stuff,” he said. “So, you didn't sort of feel this concentration that you saw with Taylor Swift.” Tostenson also said Swifties bumped up business across Metro Vancouver all weekend, with one major restaurant owner with multiple locations reporting full capacity not just at its downtown location but also in North Vancouver and Olympic Village. He credits the festive mood brought by fans that had an emotional effect on people in general, which in turn has a major impact on restaurants, an industry built largely on discretionary spending. People consume more when the mood is right, he said. “From a financial point of view, the Olympics probably had a bigger impact,” Tostenson said. “But ... I'm going to venture to estimate that this, on a daily basis compared to the Olympics, was stronger.” Telecommunications giant Rogers said data used during the last show was enough to stream Swift's entire music catalogue 9,450 times. It said in a statement that fans on the company's network set a Canadian record when they used more than 11 terabytes of mobile data in just a few hours at BC Place. The company's chief technology officer Mark Kennedy said Monday that is the equivalent of uploading 307,000 photos and 2,180 hours of video streaming. The previous record was set Nov. 21, when fans at Swift's concert in Toronto used 7.4 terabytes of data on the Rogers network. Music industry publication Pollstar also said Monday that Swift's 149-show worldwide tour brought in revenue of US$2.2 billion in its 20-month run. Vancouver Police thanked residents and visitors for a "safe and memorable weekend." Const. Tania Visintin said in a social media post that police spent months preparing for the shows. "We've had so much fun meeting people of all ages from all around the world, trading friendship bracelets and showing what a great city it can really be when we all look out for one another," she said. Thirteen Swift-themed lighting installations were set up at locations around the city to celebrate the singer's arrival. Suzanne Walters, a spokeswoman for Destination Vancouver, said most of the lit-up letters will be coming down over the next few days, but the “Swiftcouver” display downtown will stay until Dec. 13 — Swift’s birthday. Walters said the letters will be reused for holiday displays over the month of December and then be part of a pool of rentable supplies. Swift told the 60,000 fans in BC Place at Sunday's show that they were part of a tour seen by 10 million people, and that it was the most thrilling chapter of her life to date. She said the legacy of the tour will be "a space of joy and togetherness and love" that the fans have created. Swiftie Alaina Robertson echoed Swift's sentiments after the show, saying she shed lots of tears watching the "once in a lifetime" spectacle. Robertson — who travelled from Camas, Wash., for the show and wore a "Reputation" inspired outfit along with a temporary silver bedazzled snake tattoo — said she doesn't think any other concert will be able to compare. "It's going to be hard to beat," she said of the show. "She's changing the world of music. She's changing entertainment entirely, and to be at the tour with the crowd here, getting to do the friendship bracelets, getting to get dressed up — it's just love and joy and friendship, and it's been really magical to be a part of it." Fan accounts on social media platform X have posted photos showing a number of television and music stars at BC Place Sunday night, including actors Jenna Fischer, Aubrey Plaza and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as well as Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. — With files from Ashley Joannou, Brieanna Charlebois and The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024.
