To GRP Or Not To GRP The GRP debate has been raging as long as online video has been a reality. While a true fix is still potentially a few years down the road, the current fever-pitch pace of screen convergence seems to demand a workaround today. If you can’t compare apples to apples, is it better to at least compare apples to...pears? Or does this just create more obstacles on the road to real metrics?

Wither the :30?! Long Live the :30!? Once cited as the ad unit of days gone by, the digital :30 is no longer the dividing line in the debate between TV executives trying to “go with what they know” and digital natives who are convinced that the ultimate promise of online video is a media alternative that could succeed in a high-tech future. The tenor of the argument has changed, with some surprising role reversal by the players. Can the :30 be retooled for the digital age? And more important, should it be?
