History
Mediabase was founded in 1985 by Nancy and Rich Deitemeyer (aka, Rich Meyer). Originally known as Mediascan, the company changed its name to Mediabase in 1987. Mediabase became the industry's first mass-airplay monitoring company in late 1987.
In January 1988, Mediabase began publishing a trade magazine known as Monday Morning Replay, featuring monitored airplay in the top 35 markets. In 1992, Mediabase switched to a data disk method of delivery, so that it could supply deeper data to its customers. In 1997, Mediabase moved its product to the Internet, and introduced Mediabase 24/7. Over the years, Mediabase has supplied its data to numerous trade publications, such as Radio & Records, Network Magazine Group, Gavin, Hits, and appears every Tuesday in USA Today.
