As we conclude PPM Week here at All The Excess!, we realize that not all stations and companies are in agreement with Arbitron that the Portable People Meter is a good idea. Many still believe we were better off with diaries, and some harken back to the days of Pulse, Hooper, Radio Index, Trac 7, Burke, Birch, et al. And as Congress takes steps to get involved in the PPM controversy, we thought we'd come to your aid.That's why here you'll find a downloadable PDF file that takes the worry out of writing your congressman about PPM. Don't know what to say? We think we've said it for you, leaving blanks so you may personalize your letter with your company, call letters, etc. The file contains two letters. Be sure to choose the correct letter for your situation, whether you're in a currently PPM-measured market or one that's about to go PPM.
A strong and unified message to Congress could be the next step in getting PPM issues resolved. Find out who your congressman is here, fill out the pre-determined opinion we've created for you, and mail it to Washington ASAP!
(suggestion: The basic letter can also be sent to FCC commissioners with a few slight adjustments. You'll figure it out.)
