Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes dividing monitored audio into successive audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment. The example method also includes generating a first confidence value from the first audio segment and a second confidence value from the second audio segment, the first confidence value associated with a presence of a first audio source in the first audio segment, the second confidence value associated with a presence of the first audio source in the second audio segment. The example method includes identifying whether the monitored audio is associated with a presentation of first media based on the first confidence value and the second confidence value.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: divide audio of monitored media into successive audio segments; perform speaker identification on the audio segments; generate confidence values for speakers identified in the audio segments; generate speaker identification data for ones of the speakers having respective confidence values that satisfy a threshold; and analyze the speaker identification data to determine a speaker impact on audience ratings data.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate media audience consistency. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a record manager to access media measurement data communicated via a network from a plurality of media monitors, the media measurement data corresponding to a plurality of panelists. The apparatus further includes a consistency calculator to determine a first number of the panelists exposed to a first quantity of a first broadcast, determine a second number of the panelists exposed to a second quantity of the first broadcast, and output a consistency metric associated with the first broadcast, the consistency metric being based on a variation of at least the first number and the second number.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes dividing monitored audio into successive audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment, the monitored audio associated with monitored media. The example method also includes generating a first confidence value for the first audio segment of the successive segments and a second confidence value for the second audio segment, the first confidence value associated with a presence of a first audio source in the first audio segment, the second confidence value associated with a presence of the first audio source in the second audio segment. The example method further includes comparing (1) a first correlation of the first confidence value and a first rating associated with the first audio segment and (2) a second correlation of the second confidence value and a second rating associated with the second audio segment to determine an impact of the first audio source on audience ratings of the monitored media.
