Manmarziyan viewers - File a complaint with IBF to protest against StarPlus decision to terminate this show abruptly - Ibfindia.com/complaint-form
The TV serial Manmarziyan started 4 months back and now StarPlus has announced an abrupt termination on Aug 29th claiming low TRP! It is unfair to the viewing public who does pay good money every month for subscription! And the advertising money the viewers bring in too!
How is StarPlus calculating TRP? By the using the devices attached to few thousand TV's! Most people in India are watching Manmarziyan on their mobile devices - phones, tablets and laptops! It is a youth show!
As a regulator, you should do the following:
Immediate: Force StarPlus to continue with Manmarzian for another quarter because of a ground swell of viewer interest - this way the story can conclude at a normal pace.
Long Term:
1. Force StarPlus and other GEC's to offer a diverse range of shows - not just poisonous and negative ones all day long. Develop a scorecard system and let us expose these channels for the way they do business.
2. Establish benchmarks on TRP calculation. TRP's should include online viewership. Monthly reports should be published for each show.
3. Force GEC's to publish timeline of a show - At least do a quarterly commitment. Then viewers can decide if they want to watch or not.
