I doubt that they'd get involved in Canadian ratings, where 
broadcasters and advertisers have their own non-profit cooperative, 
the BBM Bureau of Measurement.

Probably money.  Guam's population is only 150,000, and the Virgin 
Islands are something like 20,000.  Who's going to buy ratings 
reports for far-flung, largely non-English speaking markets that 
size?  By contrast, Puerto Rico's population is well over 3 million.
