An old friend at Arbitron once said,

"There are three kinds of clients. Those who just went up in the
ratings think they are programming geniuses to have done that. THose
that stayed the same are thankful they did not go down, and are
pleased with their programming and management skills. And then there
are those who went down, who know it is all because Arbitron surveys
are defective."
