Claim:
1. A method to monitor media, the method comprising: processing, by executing an instruction with a processor of a data processing facility, historical metering data provided to the data processing facility from a meter monitoring a media signal of a media device at a monitored site to predict media exposure to occur at the monitored site during a future monitoring interval, the data processing facility separate from the meter and in communication with the meter via a network; obtaining, by executing an instruction with the processor, reference signatures representative of reference media predicted to be presented at the monitored site during the future monitoring interval; and providing, by executing an instruction with the processor, the reference signatures from the data processing facility to the meter via the network prior to the future monitoring interval to cache at the meter to perform media monitoring at the monitored site during the future monitoring interval.
