Comscore (NASDAQ: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning,
transacting, and evaluating media across platforms, today announced
the expansion of its partnership with Gray Media, one of the
largest TV station groups in the United States, in a multi-year
agreement. Comscore will continue as a key local measurement
currency provider for Gray Media and provide additional advanced
demographics as well as more precise audience insights across
screens. This enhanced partnership demonstrates Comscore’s
commitment to delivering innovative, audience-centric solutions
that help broadcasters like Gray and their advertisers drive
revenue growth and optimize campaign performance.
“We appreciate Comscore’s continued
advancements in audience measurement and are pleased to roll out
these solutions across more of our stations,” said Matt Jaquint,
Senior Managing Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer,
Gray Media.
The renewed agreement marks a key
milestone as Gray Media prepares to adopt Comscore’s cross-platform
measurement solution, Comscore Campaign Ratings (CCR), starting in
2025. CCR will enable Gray to deliver comprehensive cross-platform
insights with in-flight monitoring, ensuring advertisers achieve
maximum campaign efficiency.
Additionally, Gray Media has added
more TV stations, including broadcast regional sports networks, for
measurement by Comscore. It will now also leverage Comscore’s
Advanced Audience solutions, including County, Automotive,
Political data, and Plan Metrix, which enables marketers to plan
against very specific audiences based on behavior. These
capabilities will provide Gray’s advertisers with precise insights
and de-duplicated measurement across screens for key metrics such
as reach, frequency, incrementality, and co-viewing.
“This expanded partnership represents
a significant step forward in the measurement space as we continue
to work alongside Gray Media to provide data-driven insights that
fuel their continued growth and success,” said Steve Bagdasarian,
Chief Commercial Officer at Comscore. “We take pride in Gray’s
