“We are happy to have immediate access to Rentrak’s Advanced Demographics data,” Jack Abernethy, CEO of FOX Television Stations, said in a statement. “More importantly, we expect this will accelerate the long overdue progress toward an accurate digital measuring system in local TV, one based on a census, not estimates, and one that measures all screens.”

“We are excited to welcome FOX as the first owned and operated Network TV group to go ‘all-in’ with Rentrak,” said vice chairman and CEO of Rentrak, Bill Livek. “We look forward to helping FOX grow their business using the power of Rentrak’s census-like measurements and our Advanced Demographics.”
