	** It could definitely change things. If this goes the same as Microsoft's case, I'm guessing the outcome will depend on what action the judge decides is warranted and through how many appellate courts Nielsen decides to take it through. Nielsen commented they are going to fight it, and I imagine they'll fight just as hard as Microsoft did. You can read what WSVN has to say [http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI119585/ here]. They also provide a [http://www.wsvn.com/extra/pdf/sunbeam_vs_nielsen/ link] to the complete lawsuit text. Interesting reading. I should point out that Nielsen does acquire information about internet data, etc., from the networks, but they don't publish it freely. It appears they just sell that info. Sunbeam has something else going for them, imho, if it's true as the lawsuit claims, that "the Media Ratings Council, set up by the government to oversee companies like Nielsen, refused to accredit the ratings system in South Florida because it did not meet their minimum standards, but Nielsen put it in operation anyway to tap into the lucrative cable market".--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 00:58, 6 May 2009 (EDT)		** It could definitely change things.

	* Wow. If Nielsen loses this case (which I think is very possible), bye bye Nielsen. That could really change (and ''should'' change) the way viewership is tallied. This could be a big blow for the increasingly irrelevant Nielsens. I mean, even their response to the suit--"The TV ratings we are providing are more accurate than any previous measurement"--seems antiquated. In a landscape of changing technology and so many alternate ways of viewing television, there is absolutely no way that Nielsen numbers are accurate--let alone ''more'' accurate the before! Yikes.

			==April 27, 2009 (S3 Finale Final Ratings)...==
			...are not available until tomorrow due to a "server error" Nielsen has (see [http://www.medialifemagazine.com/artman2/publish/Overnights_50/Sunday_overnights_delayed_by_Nielsen.asp here] for details). In other news, Nielsen is being sued by Sunbeam Corp., which is claiming that Nielsen is an abusive monopoly. Along with the CW and NBC Boston affiliated stations, Sunbeam owns Miami station, WSVN (Fox Channel 7), whose ratings have fallen by as much as 45% in some timeslots immediately following Nielsen's introduction of set-top boxes to monitor ratings in the South Florida market. Read about that [http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/columnists/glenn-garvin/story/1026556.html here].--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 00:13, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

	* Can't say I was surprised. It was my least favorite episode yet. ([[User:Admin\|Admin]] 20:05, 24 February 2009 (EST))		* Can't say I was surprised. It was my least favorite episode yet. ([[User:Admin\|Admin]] 20:05, 24 February 2009 (EST))
	** In other news, ''Entertainment Weekly'' just published that ''Heroes'' was the 5th for shows watched online (at [[NBC.com]]). There were 690,000 people who watched the episode online. The data is from February 17, so I'm assuming that's talking about ''[[Episode:Building 26\|Building 26]]''. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:07, 24 February 2009 (EST)		** In other news, ''Entertainment Weekly'' just published that ''Heroes'' was the 5th for shows watched online (at [[NBC.com]]).

	** It could definitely change things. If this goes the same as Microsoft's case, I'm guessing the outcome will depend on what action the judge decides is warranted and through how many appellate courts Nielsen decides to take it through. Nielsen commented they are going to fight it, and I imagine they'll fight just as hard as Microsoft did. You can read what WSVN has to say [http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI119585/ here]. They also provide a [http://www.wsvn.com/extra/pdf/sunbeam_vs_nielsen/ link] to the complete lawsuit text. Interesting reading. I should point out that Nielsen does acquire information about internet data, etc., from the networks, but they don't publish it freely. It appears they just sell that info. Sunbeam has something else going for them, imho, if it's true as the lawsuit claims, that "the Media Ratings Council, set up by the government to oversee companies like Nielsen, refused to accredit the ratings system in South Florida because it did not meet their minimum standards, but Nielsen put it in operation anyway to tap into the lucrative cable market".--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 00:58, 6 May 2009 (EDT)		** It could definitely change things.

			** The Nielsen Ratings finally came out late yesterday, and I've updated them. They don't really show any increase for the finale... hopefully, this week's TAMi isn't delayed too much longer.--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 04:18, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
