THE NIELSEN SWEEPS PERIOD REMINDER: As a broadcaster, you and your immediate family may not fill out a Nielsen Survey. To do so could invalidate the book and create a very nasty and expensive situation. If you receive any Nielsen survey information while you are in the employ of 47 ABC and its affiliates, advise your Supervisor and return the materials to Nielsen. In advance, thanks much for your cooperation.
