While radio not-so-patiently waits for Nielsen to produce a product that can track its "cross-platform" listeners, ESPN is way ahead in this game. Advertising Age reports ESPN is sharing all kinds of measurement data with advertisers, not only to prove how popular the sports brand is with consumers, but to score more money. ESPN has been conducting cross-platform research for years and that includes its TV, Radio, Print and Digital properties.
