Brower Piven Encourages Investors Who Have Losses in Excess of $100,000 From Investment in Arbitron, Inc. to Inquire About the Lead Plaintiff Position in Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit

BALTIMORE, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/26/08 -- Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Arbitron, Inc. ("Arbitron" or the "Company") (NYSE: ARB) between July 19, 2007 and November 26, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period"). No class has yet been certified in this action.

Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than June 30, 2008 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in all important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. If you have a net loss in excess of $100,000 incurred from transactions in Arbitron securities during the Class Period and are interested in directing the course of this litigation for plaintiffs, please contact Brower Piven (hoffman@browerpiven.com or 410-332-0030) to answer any questions you may have in that regard.

The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, the Company, and certain of its officers and/or directors, violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements that hid from the investing public that the Company was experiencing difficulties that would delay implementation of its Portable People Meter audience ratings service in certain major markets. The complaint further alleges that such anticipated delays caused defendants to lack a reasonable basis for positive statements about the timing of the implementation of Arbitron's Portable People Meter ratings service and the Company's prospects and future earnings.

On November 26, 2007, Arbitron announced that "it [would] delay the commercialization of its Portable People Meter (PPM) radio ratings service in nine markets" and that the Company would revise its financial guidance for 2007 and its outlook for 2008. After this news, the price of Arbitron common stock declined on high trading volume.

If you have suffered a net loss for all transactions in Arbitron, Inc. securities during the Class Period (including shares or possibly calls purchased during, but retained after, the Class Period or possibly put options sold but not covered until after the Class Period), you may obtain additional information about this lawsuit and your ability to become a lead plaintiff by contacting Brower Piven at www.browerpiven.com, by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com, by calling 410-332-0030, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, The World Trade Center-Baltimore, 401 East Pratt Street, Suite 2525, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.
