Nielsen is preparing to shut down SpotScan, a spot monitoring service for radio stations. Clients are expected to learn the details next month.

Layoffs are also anticipated with the move.

The company, best known for its TV ratings, has been busy trimming its portfolio of late to focus on what it considers its core businesses.

“We want to focus on our core monitoring business,” said a Nielsen spokesperson. “In terms of timing [of the shut down] we don’t have a final date.”
