Today In Communication History
On this date in 1956, ‘King Kong’ (1933) premiered on television in the U.S.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.

How Often Are Emails Deleted Without Being Read?
Roughly 1 in 10 (9%) of commercial emails sent by brands in 2015 were deleted without being read, according to a recent report from Return Path. The incidence of deletion before reading ranged from a low of 5% (for distribution and manufacturing companies) to a high of 14% (for office supplies companies), per the study. There appears to be little seasonality on this metric, with most categories seeing fairly steady rates throughout the year. The study notes that sectors such as insurance, utilities and telecommunications pair low delete-before-reading reading rates with high read rates, as might be expected. However, social and dating companies have a low delete-before-reading rate despite below-average read rates. The Return Path study is based on global consumer data captured from the Data Cloud. The metrics were calculated based on the activity of over 2.5 million consumer panelists and more than 3.5 billion commercial email messages received between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015.
