AOL Huffington Post Tops TV News Nets in Advertiser Survey

The MyersBizNet study included 75 national TV/video sales organizations in five categories, with more than 600 agency and advertiser executives responding. The categories evaluated in the MyersBizNet survey are:

• Broadcast and Leading Cable Entertainment Networks
• Specialty Television & Video Organizations,
• Hispanic Television Organizations,
• News Television & Video Organizations, and
• Sports Television & Video Organizations.

TV news organizations included in the MyersBizNet survey included ABC News, BBC World News, Bloomberg Media, CNN, Fox News, NBCU Live (News), and The Weather Channel. AOL Huffington Post was included for benchmark purposes, in anticipation of increased TV and digital video integration in future MyersBizNet studies on advertisers' perceptions. The full report includes details on 22 distinct respondent groups.

Based on their perceptions, the advertiser and agency executives rated each organization (with which they have a business relationship) on seven performance attributes. Performance ratings are based on the percent of total respondents rating each news organization 4/5 (top two-box).

In the next weeks, Premium Underwriters of MyersBizNet's MediaVillage sales support program will receive reports providing in-depth results incorporating rankings among 22 individual respondent groups (responsibility, geographic location, demographic targets, industry category and respondent gender). Custom analytics and strategic recommendations will be provided in personal meetings with Jack Myers that are now being scheduled. Premium underwriters may contact Maryann Teller at maryann@myersbiznet.com to confirm scheduling.
