Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Nielsen’s TV-industry measurement stick has regained some of its edge after an industry monitor restored accreditation to the company’s national TV ratings. The Media Rating Council, which holds measurement organizations to standards on behalf of the media sector, said Monday that Nielsen had regained approval after working to rectify several issues. Nielsen’s national ratings, arguably the standard in tabulating TV audiences, have been without industry backing since September of 2021, after TV networks complained that Nielsen’s work measuring activity during the coronavirus pandemic was sub-standard. Nielsen’s “commitments to validate and improve its estimates of the level of Broadband-Only Households” and to “enhancing the disclosures it provides to users about the variability associated with its estimates of television viewing” were “especially critical to our decision to re-apply accreditation at this time,” said George Ivie, executive director and CEO of the Media Rating Council, in a prepared statement.

McKinley Franklin editor The Coachella livestream on YouTube is the next-best thing to being there, and in some ways it’s even better: There’s no crowds, travel, heat or dust unless you want them, and you’ve got the best seat in the house.  This Friday, the 22nd edition of Coachella will kick off with the first of two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. With fans anticipating a star-studded list of headliners like Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean, this year’s festival is the first that notably consists of a lineup of over 50% international artists.  As in other recent years, Coachella 2023 will be available to stream online via its official YouTube channel on the first weekend — and the good news is that this marks the full time the second weekend will also have just an extensive slate of streaming instead of just select highlights. Livestreams are accessible on desktop, mobile or the YouTube app via Coachella’s official YouTube page. For the first time, six of the stages from the festival — instead of the usual three — will be accessible for streaming, starting April 14 at 4 p.m. PT (and continuing on April 21 at the same time for the festival’s second weekend). Following each day of festivities, Coachella’s YouTube will rerun video performances from the day prior.
