Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to credit commercial broadcasts are disclosed. Example commercial crediting methods disclosed herein include accessing commercial crediting feed data corresponding to a monitored commercial. Disclosed example method also include, in response to determining the monitored commercial was distributed via a broadcast network and not a cable network, (1) comparing the commercial crediting feed data to media monitoring system data to identify a code included in a network feed to identify the monitored commercial, and (2) comparing the code to first lineup data to identify crediting data for the monitored commercial. Disclosed example methods additionally include storing the crediting data for the monitored commercial in a data repository.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to associate audience members with over-the-top device media impressions. An example audience measurement apparatus includes an impression monitoring system to monitor and log media impressions based on impression requests received via network communications from over the top devices. A linkage database system is to implement the impression monitoring system. A processor in circuit with the impression monitoring system is to: generate Internet protocol (IP) address-to-cookie mappings; associate household identifiers of households with ones of the IP address-to-cookie mappings; and associate ones of the household identifiers to the logged media impressions based on IP addresses associated with the media impressions and based on the household identifiers associated with the ones of the IP address-to-cookie mappings.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for over the top (OTT) media measurement are disclosed herein. Example methods include comparing, with an on-site meter in communication with an OTT service provider server, household data maintained by the OTT service provider server with anonymized panelist data provided by an audience measurement entity to identify a first person predicted to be included in a first household according to the anonymized panelist data but not included in the first household according to the household data, accessing media impressions collected by the OTT service provider server and corresponding to media accessed with a first OTT device associated with the first household, and crediting, with the on-site meter, usage of the first OTT device associated with access of the media to the first person based on the media impressions and demographic data obtained from the anonymized panelist data and attributed to the first person.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to facilitate matching of names for same media content are disclosed. Example methods include analyzing first data associated with first media content and, when a program name/identifier and/or episode name/identifier is not identified in the first data, supplementing the data with second data to form third data and processing the third data with respect to fourth data associated with second media content and calculating a composite match score including a program match score and an episode match score based on processing the third data with respect to the fourth data. When the first media content is determined to match the second media content based on the processing of the third data with respect to the fourth data and a comparison of the composite match score to a threshold is satisfied, a normalized media name is generated for the first media content and the second media content.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for determining media access sessions. In an example, an apparatus to determine media access sessions includes a record locator to access, in a data store, a first media impression record indicative of a first media access segment, and a second media impression record indicative of a second media access segment and a view counter. The view counter is to update at least one of the first or second media impression records in the data store, when the second media access segment occurs within a threshold time after the first media access segment, to indicate that the first and second media access segments are associated with a same first media access session.

Disclosed example methods additionally include storing the crediting data for the monitored commercial in a data repository.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to facilitate local time-based digital audio measurement are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include a hello ping may be received from a media player. The media player may be associated with a location based on the hello ping. The media player may be associated with a time offset based on the location. A configuration file may be generated to include the location and the time offset. The configuration file may be sent to the media player.

Example methods include comparing, with an on-site meter in communication with an OTT service provider server, household data maintained by the OTT service provider server with anonymized panelist data provided by an audience measurement entity to identify a first person predicted to be included in a first household according to the anonymized panelist data but not included in the first household according to the household data, accessing media impressions collected by the OTT service provider server and corresponding to media accessed with a first OTT device associated with the first household, and crediting, with the on-site meter, usage of the first OTT device associated with access of the media to the first person based on the media impressions and demographic data obtained from the anonymized panelist data and attributed to the first person.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor a media presentation are disclosed. An example method includes in response to receipt of a media identifier, extracting, by executing an instruction with a processor, a timestamp from the received media identifier. A time of receipt of the media identifier is determined. A difference between the time of receipt of the media identifier and the timestamp from the received media identifier is determined. A time shifted viewing code is calculated based on the difference The time shifted viewing code is transmitted to a media monitor that transmitted the media identifier, the time shifted viewing code to be reported when the media monitor reports monitoring information.
