Below is an index of full Nielsen National TV ratings reports, often referred to as the "Nielsen Television Index" or "Nielsen Pocketpieces." These will be added piecemeal overtime as scans are able to be completed and this page will serve as an introduction to the scope of the project and an index of all of the reports posted on this site. 

My goal with this project is to digitize and publish every Nielsen Pocketpiece between November 1954 and April 1981. November 1954 is the earliest one I've been able to locate and April 1981 is when the full Primetime TV ratings began being published in the The Los Angeles Times.

With 2 reports published each month and a total of 26.5 years, there are a total of 636 Pocketpieces I'm hoping to archive. Of these 636, there are currently 16 reports that I haven't located yet and I've provided a chart below to diagram exactly which ones are missing. If anyone has any tips to fill these gaps, please email me using the Contact Form in the sidebar.

I may, at some point, work on gathering all the Pocketpieces post-1981, but my initial goal is to finish the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s first.
