<p>I was as surprised as you are. My household? It seems they selected us at random to be a household that charts what they listen to for a week period. I don't know why but I think this is kinda cool.</p><p>I mean there's LOTS of shit on TV and radio that is put on or taken off all the time. All the time I've wondered "Hey, what are these assholes using to chart ratings? They never ask someone like me what I think."</p><p>Well now they are. I made sure to let the nice lady know that I was listening to XM Satellite Radio today. Hey, she asked. And when asked what I was listening to, I said 202 with Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez. FUCKIN' A RIGHT! And that's about all my booklet they said I'll receive will really reflect, because it's all I listen to. I got one for my mother, father and grandmother too. I was thinking of just making theirs say XM in all the slots too, but fuck it. That would look too fake. So let them do their own thing. Unfortuantely, my Mother's will talk about the local religious station. My father likes Public Radio. Not sure what my grandmother listens to.</p><p>Also, they said there's money in the envelopes. What the hell is that? No checks, they warned me there would be actual currency in each one. Not a lot, but they said "It's enough to buy a cup of coffee." So I'm guessing a dollar or two. I didn't know they did that. </p><p>I don't think it's a scam. Is it? They just asked for my mailing address, nothing more. I hope it's all for real.</p>

<p>Its most likely legit. I work in market research and have done a lot of focus groups where the honorarium is indeed cash.</p><p>Enjoy your newfound wealth.</p>

Its legit. I used to work in radio, and that's how it works. You just never hear about it because the personalities are forbidden to talk about it. I can't remember the exact amount, but I think it was between two and five dollars.

DTNWell then, you should move to where you can get the station.

Moe you're the first person I actually kind of know who partook in the ratings. Now I just need to meet someone who partook in the Nielson (sp) ratings and my life's goals will be met!

Back in the mid 1970's my family had a Nielson Ratings TV log sent to us. I filled out the whole thing with syndicated Gilligan's Island and Get Smart. Haven't heard from them since.

<p>Last year I did this...yea I was honest. I believe they tell you to make note of WHENEVER you hear a radio....I was in Dunkin Donuts long enough to notice they had on WKTU for 10 minutes, so I wrote it down too. That week I had to drive from North Jersey to Baltimore on Monday, so I had KROCK, YSP and Live105. Then Live105 all week nights and for the trip back up I wrote whatever I had on.</p><p>I got 3 crisp dollars out of it.</p><p>And yeah, there is a Comments area</p>
