New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo drew first blood on Friday
morning (Oct. 10), when he announced he was suing Arbitron over it
Portable People Meter (PPM), accusing Arbitron of deceptively
claiming that its portable people meter (PPM) system is valid,
fair, and representative of diverse radio markets.
Now his neighbor to the south, New Jersey attorney general Anne
Milgram is suing the ratings company, charging that its use of the
"new, unaccredited system for measuring listenership harms minority
consumers and violates New Jersey’s consumer fraud, advertising and
anti- discrimination laws."
