FourthWall Media's Ad Aim Network® product collects real time set top box data from digital cable homes within their participating footprint. AdAim Network® also provides reports and analysis of this activity for all cable channels available within a participating system.

"The world of targeted television advertising and hyper-fragmented programming options for viewers is fast approaching," said Bill Feininger Senior Vice President, Media Measurement.
