I actually asked our ops mgr about this and he stated that use of the
word "Arbitron" is not prohibited.  Use of phrases such as "write us
down in your Arbitron diary" or, "please, sweet Lord above, write us
down in your Arbitron diary" are prohibited.  

I always enjoyed WBCN's use of the clever "if your cow is part of the
mating service dairy" (or something to that affect...)

The ultimate is the classic radio-ratings-promotions spoof, Super Q...
