Forensic Ratings Analysis
When the answer to “what happened?” is not obvious, ROIMS conducts forensic ratings analysis across multiple dimensions of audience behavior and market context. The goal is to determine whether movement reflects a real trend, normal variability, sample dynamics, or external factors—and produce an explanation that is credible, defensible, and useful to management.
- Sample and proportionality

Industry Expertise & Advisory
Sometimes leadership needs more than a dashboard or an internal readout. It needs an expert who understands the broadcast industry, audience measurement, station economics, and the revenue implications of Nielsen PPM data.
ROIMS provides clear, concise, and defensible analysis for banks, investors, business plans, legal matters, expert testimony, regulatory review, and strategic decision-making. We help translate complex ratings and audience behavior into reliable guidance that can withstand scrutiny from executives, lenders, legal counsel, regulators, and other outside stakeholders.
When the issue is complex and the stakes are high, ROIMS brings the experience, industry knowledge, and credibility needed to point the way forward.
Financial Analysis, Reports & Projections
Success is often judged by how station revenue performs relative to the market. By definition, that is a one-dimensional view of a multi-dimensional environment.
ROIMS’ proprietary financial reports provide a more complete view of the station, the marketplace, and the factors driving performance. Key performance indicators add the context needed to understand what is really behind the success—or the shortfall—and what the evidence suggests about revenue risk, growth opportunity, and the path forward.
Business Plans, Investment Cases & Revenue Strategy
ROIMS supports business plans, acquisition analysis, turnaround strategy, and revenue planning by translating audience data into clear financial and strategic implications. The work connects ratings performance, market opportunity, and signal dynamics into a defensible business case for investors, lenders, ownership groups, and leadership teams.
Format & Demographic Opportunity Analysis
Format decisions require more than instinct and rankers. ROIMS evaluates demographic opportunity, market structure, competitive dynamics, and revenue potential to assess whether a format change is viable. The objective is to determine not just whether an opportunity exists, but whether it is large enough, reachable enough, and monetizable enough to justify action.
Expert Advisory & Defensible Opinion
ROIMS provides expert advisory support when broadcasters need clear, credible interpretation of ratings, revenue, or market dynamics. The value is disciplined analysis and a defensible point of view—an explanation that can be communicated confidently to leadership, investors, lenders, or legal stakeholders.
