Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Mr. Kenneth F. Gorman, a member of the Board of Directors of Arbitron Inc. (the "Company"), has informed the Company that he does not intend to stand for re-election when his term expires at the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting in May 2005. To the Company’s knowledge, Mr. Gorman’s decision is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Gorman has served as a director of the Company since its spin-off from Ceridian Corporation in March 2001. Mr. Gorman indicated that he was informing the Company of his decision at this time so that the Company would have adequate time to identify and nominate a replacement director to fill the vacancy that would otherwise be created as a result of his retirement.
