In addition, a Market/Operator/Product report allows users to see inventory changes from the previous COMB Data Report.

Circulation data is now available for Clear Channel Canada, COMB’s newest operator member, and for Rouge Media in Resto-Bars.

COMB has also updated the Navigator Reach/Frequency Model with recent GPS data that is used to establish a duplication factor that determines the number of times respondents were actually exposed to panels.

Markets were also updated with new vehicle occupancy factors as provided by Transport Canada.
