SRDS is getting a rebuild. Here’s what’s changing and what’s staying
For more than a century, SRDS has helped media professionals find and evaluate advertising opportunities across the US. Today, it brings together more than 125,000 media brands across TV, radio, print, digital, podcasts, out-of-home, and more, with verified ad rates, audience demographics, and media contacts sourced directly from media owners.
Starting October 20, we're rolling out a rebuilt platform to SRDS users over the following weeks. You'll see faster performance, a cleaner interface, and easier ways to find the information you need. Here's what to expect when your account moves to the new platform.
What's changing
We've rebuilt the experience around the data to make everyday planning easier:
- Faster performance. Pages load faster, and results update as you apply filters, select markets, or change categories, without reloading the page.
- Cleaner design. Clearer layouts put key information within easy reach, with less visual clutter and less scrolling to find what you need.
- Simpler navigation and search. Updated categories and search tools make it easier to explore by market, format, audience, or media type, with fewer clicks between your search and the information you need.
- More prominent enhanced listings. Enhanced media listings have a clearer presentation and greater visibility, making properties easier to review and compare.
What's staying the same
The information and services you depend on remain in place:
- Your data and coverage. You'll have the same depth and breadth of information across more than 125,000 media brands. Our sourcing, verification, and update processes remain unchanged.
- Your subscription. Your pricing, access level, and included products stay the same. That includes SRDS IQ, Local Market Profiles, and any add-on products in your account.
- Your login email. You'll continue using the same email address. On your first visit to the rebuilt platform, you'll be prompted to reset your password, a step that should take about 30 seconds.
The rollout begins October 20
Accounts will move to the rebuilt platform over the following weeks. Watch your inbox for an email before your account transitions, with the details you need to get started.
