Combining FAST and over-the-air strengthens audience measurement

This makes Lionsgate the first company to have Nielsen measure both a FAST channel and a digital network.

Starting next month, the initiative will measure viewing in roughly 130 local TV markets by combining audience data from MovieSphere’s FAST channel with over-the-air (OTA) viewership from MovieSphere Gold’s local affiliates.
