摘要

Systems, apparatus and methods to associate related market broadcast detections with a multi-market media broadcast are disclosed. An example disclosed method comprises obtaining a plurality of broadcast detection records, each broadcast detection record comprising detection information obtained by detecting an instance of a broadcast item in a broadcast market, comparing the plurality of broadcast detection records using first association criteria to identify a first group of broadcast detection records from the plurality of broadcast detection records, comparing the plurality of broadcast detection records using second association criteria to identify a second group of broadcast detection records from the plurality of broadcast detection records, the second association criteria different from the first association criteria, and determining a third group of broadcast detection records from the plurality of broadcast detection records to associate with a multi-market media broadcast, the third group corresponding to a larger of the first and the second group.
