On April 4, Video Research Ltd. will start an Individual TV Audience Measurement in the Nagoya area. (Data delivery takes place from April 5.)

The system to be introduced in the Nagoya area is by PM (People Meter), and has already been introduced in the Kanto area since April 1997 and in the Kansai area in April 2001. It enables to measure both household ratings and individual ratings simultaneously.
