@Guinea:- Not talking about the channels as such but I do feel after digitalization the TRPs is showing and much better picture. Earlier we used to have good TRPs for only the big GECs like SP, Colors, Zee and Sony. All the shows on SAB and other small channels were having very less TRP around 0.6-0.5 with only Tarak being the one constant thing. But I actually like the programs on SAB - halka, pulka and light entertainment. Especially love the Chidiya Ghar and Lapataganj. No need to worry about the story and just laugh out and if you miss, no big deal. Now after the digitalization am really happy that these shows are raking in good TRPs - All of SAB TV shows have TRP greater than 1. So I would say with the big metros and the big cities TRPs being counted may be we are seeing a more correct picture. So I am not ready to say that TRPs are all fake and bought in/bribed by the channel.
Regarding CC not raking in the TRPs, well honestly I think there is nothing that puts the show apart from the rest of the half dozen shows having the same theme other than Sanaya and Supriya name cast. And I think the damage has already been done to the show and the viewership - Sorry my honest feelings. And with the schools starting in, I think it is early to bed/early to rise for the housewives and hence they are giving this a miss.
exactly..you said my words...I too think TRP is fair...there is nothing special in CC except Sanaya and SaNuj..
