I dont understand, who is responsible for the TRP's. I have been reading the forums for a while now. Here are my thoughts:
  • When the main characters are in trouble and pain, the TRP's go up and when everything is smooth sailing and happy they are down.
  • BALH viewers have been crying hoarse saying they do not want a separation and when they showed Priya and Ram together, handling situations together, the TRP's were down. Now when there is trouble between them, the TRP's are doing better.
  • Do the viewers of the shows want the main characters to be sad and separate from each other all the time?

I find it hard to digest that when the main characters are fighting or having an EMA or mis-trusting each other, I see the green arrow come up. When they are together fighting for a cause or trusting each other and staying together, I see the red arrow come up.

If the TRP's are in the viewers hands, are they sadists who want to see only trouble on the screen. This is not just true of BALH. I have noticed this in all the other shows as well.
Please do not separate Ram and Priya, but help them to work together and sort out all misunderstandings.

Well said friend...I totally agree with you and understand your feelings...these serials have always been portraying negative emotions right from the beginning when they were started being shown on TV...its so sad to see that always the women characters suffer or make others suffer...unfortunately people are so much used to the negativity that they fail to accept positive moments...the negativity has poisoned the audience's mind and the human mind as unpredictable as it can be refuses to accept change in any form...I hope this trend changes soon and not only BALH but all serials should change for the better...thanks for opening such a nice topic...TRP's should go to hell...

Cannot understand the TRPs..frankly--BALH did well so far without much melodrama--It was an only exception so far..other high TRP shows as you say had OTT drama,nonsensical but sensational plots , a dukhayri bahu,unhappy couples etc..
But the days have changed--We have seen the couple falling in love and consummating their relationship--Post that there has been a lull...so they are dishing us with the drama.-for the TRPs mainly. but also to give the story a new direction..good or bad can't say at the moment.
Past couple of episodes have been below par--will it get reflected in the TRPs?-Can't say..
Yes. The TRP is the King here and I cannot understand the Kings temperament for sure..and what Ekta and her team would do to impress this King..cannot say--Hope they do not ruin the show entirely for the so called TRPs..inspite of the bad episodes that we are getting,the show still has scope for a very interesting story--and that is what makes me somewhat hopful that things with time may get better.
Hope that Ekta and her team do not lose their mind entirely behind the TRPs and lose what they have in their hand currently--A good show.

I just fail to understand why people want to see only sadness, anger, unpleasantness and other negative emotions. Don't they have enough of all of the negativity in their lives. I like to watch TV shows to take me away from harsh realities of life.
Do people not want a breath of fresh air at the end of the day when they can relax? I think successful soap directors like EK should be adventurous and step out of the box and give us a different kind of show instead of bowing down to TRP's and churning the same old wine in new bottles, promising to give us something different and not keeping those promises. I am so disappointed that BALH is also a victim of circumstances. What a waste of acting talent.

in simple words if your show get more trps, channel get more money and channel give producers more money .

i heard somewhere if your show trps 5+ then per episode you get 1 crore or so and if your show getting less trps like 1 or 2 you get 30 to 40 lacs .
here one more thing if a show is hit then ads companies give ads to channel and ask channel to air ads during this show which getting more trps, thats why trps is very important not only for producers, channels but also for ads companies .
trps like boxoffice collection for television .

If Ekta is looking for The Top spot in TRPs in Sony Tv. then she should really forget it..Cause i dont think it is gonna happen..
There are 2 more great shows... That for so long they are on Top3. mostly TOP2. {CID, and Crime patrol.} I dont even think if BALH takes 20years leap if it would be on NO1...
But i enjoy seeing Ram and Priya apart and fighting.. it is fun.. and see Niharika Succeed...but not too much...

Thanks..We all have an idea about the TRPs and the same leading to the revenue for the channel and the producers..
Thanks for the information that you have shared in terms of the figures and stats though.
The question is--what exactly determines good TRPs..??
The system unlike the box-office collection is flawed though..as the TRPs only indicates the popularity of a show in the sample homes where the TAM meters are installed-The real picture may be different..

Yes maybe real picture is something else . TAM meters installed in just 8000 houses and Haryana, Punjab, Kashmir & UP are not counted . its worst thing in 1 billion population country only 8000 meters, dont know why indian television industry following this TAM ?
I think TAM need to increase meters .
