PPM - Portable People Meter
<Back to Last Page> <Full Glossary>

Definition: PPM stands for "Portable People Meter" and radio measurement company Arbitron describes it this way: "The PPM system automatically reports audience exposure to inaudible codes embedded in a broadcast signal." The PPM methodology is transitionally replacing Arbitron's older "diary" method which relies on listeners to keep track or remember listening habits.
