Weather Channel owner Byron Allen sues Nielsen, alleging that it can't reliably count the viewership of his smaller networks

The Hollywood Reporter

CF Entertainment, which is owned by Byron Allen’s media group, alleges ratings on its network and other similarly situated companies were undercounted by hundreds of millions of viewers. “Nielsen is the most well-known television ratings service providers in the country, but it relies on an antiquated panel system to estimate television viewership,” reads the complaint. “This is a crude tool that does not reliably measure television viewership in the Twenty-First Century.”
