IRI and TiVo Media Measurement Experts Link TV Viewing Patterns to Purchase Decisions

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

IRI:

WHO:       J.P. Beauchamp - Senior Vice President, IRI Panel & Testing
           Solutions Group
           Luiz G. Duarte - Director of Research, TiVo

WHAT:      The popularity of digital video recorders (DVRs) is on the
           rise. In fact, by 2011 more than 55 percent of U.S.
           households will have a DVR, which means more Americans will
           be changing their TV viewing habits and avoiding
           commercials. So, how do these habits impact advertising
           effectiveness and product sales? Media measurement experts
           J.P. Beauchamp and Luiz Duarte will take a closer look at
           this important issue by highlighting groundbreaking new
           findings from a recent IRI/TiVo study in their
           presentation, "Single-Sourcing: Audience & Consumption
           Measurement in a Non-Linear World." They will match the
           brand purchase behavior of DVR versus non-DVR households,
           provide insights on what type of ads are not skipped, and
           examine ways to improve the effectiveness of advertising
           campaigns for DVR users.

WHY:       As DVR penetration continues to grow throughout the United
           States, advertisers need to be equipped with insights and
           solutions to maximize effectiveness and return on
           investment for product advertising.  Advertisers must also
           be innovative in understanding consumers' media habits to
           effectively reach their targets.

           The presentation will address such critical questions as:

           -- How can marketers marry their viewing and purchase data
              to optimize their media buys to those networks and/or
              programs most responsive to their brand buyers and least
              likely to have their commercials skipped?

           -- Are there profiles of brands/categories seeing impacts
              of DVR usage?

           -- Which TV targets, dayparts, and genres are more heavily
              impacted by DVR usage?

           -- What are the profiles of heavy and light users of TiVo?

           -- Does DVR usage drive brand losses?

WHEN:      June 27, 2007, 1:30-3 p.m. (EDT)

WHERE:     The Advertising Research Foundation
           Audience Measurement 2.0 Conference
           Millennium Broadway Hotel
           145 W. 44th Street
