Methods and apparatus to collect media exposure information
First Claim
1. A metering device to collect media exposure information, the metering device comprising:
- a housing;
an input carried by the housing;
a display carried by the housing to present a list of media stations which may be tuned by a media device different than the metering device, the metering device incapable of tuning to the media stations;
a processor carried by the housing to identify which of the media stations is displayed when the input is selected; and
memory carried by the housing to store an indication of an exposure to the identified media station via the media device, the indication including the identified media station and a timestamp corresponding the selection of the input.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to collect media exposure information are described. An example metering device to collect media exposure information includes a housing; an input carried by the housing; a display carried by the housing to present a list of media stations which may be tuned by a media device different than the metering device, the metering device incapable of tuning to the media stations; a processor carried by the housing to identify which of the media stations is displayed when the input is selected; and memory carried by the housing to store an indication of an exposure to the identified media station via the media device, the indication including the identified media station and a timestamp corresponding the selection of the input.

11. A method, comprising:
-
displaying a list of media stations on a portable metering device, the portable metering device being incapable of tuning the media stations; identifying a first one of the media stations as being displayed at a first time corresponding to a selection of an input of the portable metering device; generating a timestamp corresponding to the first time; and storing an indication of an exposure to the first one of the media stations, the indication including the first media station and the timestamp. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A machine readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
display a list of media stations on a portable metering device, the portable metering device being incapable of tuning the media stations; identify a first one of the media stations as being displayed at a first time corresponding to a selection of an input of the portable metering device; generate a timestamp corresponding to the first time; and store an indication of an exposure to the first one of the media stations, the indication including the first media station and the timestamp. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
