All MAANEETIANS please see..abt CM and TRPs... - Page 4

u confused me😕 i read another post telling that we must watch only by 9.30 pls tell me which is true yaar

awesome post...i m right with u

sir..
i have a question here...
why is IF running...
is it reflecting the worldwide view...or the industry view...
you are talking abt industry taking the ratings seriously...
do you understand that trps do not include viewership outside india...
and IF was the only place where ppl frm around the world found relief that they can contribute to the shows popularity...
i am really disappointed to say that the sole purpose of uniting the worldwide audience has gone down the drain...
IF is an online portal...if you really think you need to include trps then probably IF need to be a part of Tata sky or some dth service and not an online portal...
trps themselves do injustice to shows on different channels..
i am sure you are aware that only a few channels are aired across india and rest are aired only regional basis...
shows are good but still do not get trp...
but the IF rankings always kept us running and enthusiastic abt our shows...
but if this as well will take the that way than i think...there is no point in discussing..giving our views...consensus or anything as it will not be seen in correct light...
i kindly request you to think once that is bringing in trp element a very good option and if you really want to include it then the wieghtage can be worked on.. as per now we are seeing rating is very much affected by trps and the weightage in the algorithm is high...
but IF being an online portal i kindly request to keep online activity weightage high and include trps as well but it should not be the main thing...
i hope i am not sounding offensive or condescending..
this is sumthing i strongly feel and kindly request you to ponder over it...

i posted this on chaskameter thread yesterday

aww miti u wrote very well dear...i was absent yesterday to participate in halla bol...hoe our views are appreciated after all there is no sense making post and commenting if in the end our efforts go down the draina dn we watch our fav show been beaten by others whose fans do nothing ot bring it on top...

Spee nice post... I just want to say that many people don't know how the system of trp works in India... so there is need for the awareness on the issue but including this system in calculating the popularity and ranking of any show on this online portal is very unfair. Let me tell you how.
First and foremost rule of conducting a survey is that your sample size must reflect the universe...
This hardly happens when TRPs & GRPs are calculated.
India's population is over 1.21 billion... After this another important factor is: out of this how many homes have TV sets & how many have cable/dth connection.
Next question is about the reach of every channel.
The reach of every channel is different. For example reach of Doordarshan is widest in India around 90%... star plus & sony too have more reach than their sister channels.
Another point which should be considered while conducting a survey is the language of the region which plays an important role when the language of the channel doesn't match the language of the particular region.
The company which conducts the survey (TAM media) has not disclosed the methodology of conducting a survey. It doesn't mean that they should reveal the names & location of the households. Instead it means that they should reveal that how many peoplometers have been installed in every region.
Another factor which can also play a major role in such a survey is the education level of the families, occupation and habits of tv viewing (which are affected by other factors as well including the native language of a person & income levels).
Education level because many of the middle class don't like to watch hindi or language dramas... instead they prefer watching english or movie channels or Nat geo or discovery.
Occupation also affects the habit of television viewing... its not that one member of your family likes to watch a show, then whole family would like to watch it.
Till now we don't know the exact mechanism of calculating the TRPs & without making the details public one can not judge the accuracy of the system.
Age & language factor
Now a days every channel is trying to cater to the audience of different age groups & language. So we have shows which target audience of 5-14, 15-30, 30 +
Language of the region also matters a lot so one single channel is trying to include the shows which can entertain different regions like north India (Bihar, U.P, etc), Gujarat, Bengal, etc. (These days more and more Gujarati shows are coming up.
So to conduct a survey all these factors should be included & considered well.
In this situation anyone can understand that how difficult it is to conduct a survey every week. The survey company is doing a commendable job yet it doesn't reflect the real situation.
Now coming to the online popularity of any show.
Only the people having an Internet connection can add to the online popularity of the show... so the reach & penetration of the Internet connection also matters... There are lot of people who watch a particular show on TV but don't come to internet & vice versa... so here lies the actual problem... & that is why I'm against this decision of including TRPs & GRPs in calculating the popularity here on this forum. I'm also asking the question that how ethical & appropriate it is to include TRPs & GRPs in the survey of an online portal.

@ mamta di very well written...crisp i must say...can u post this on vijay ka thread he too needs to read this,,,

Excellent post it put the view i wanted to be put across

Geet is an amazing, incredible show

however due to the fact abroad viewership can't compensate to the TRP system or anybody that doesnt have that meter, ghsp suffer

that's totally unfair and i hope SO realise this and broaden their viewership

secondly India forums is a place where shows where based on popularity amongst viewers and thats what people like about it but if they add the trp tangent what will happen to shows like Geet

we should be encouraging shows like Geet to be made not discouraging

I hope the admin group of the chaska meter section read this and take it to account

Many viewers have been hurt by such actions

thank u so much dear and thank u for such an awesome reply dear...don't wrry be positive let's hope that our feelings opinions will be taken into consideration...now v MAANEETIANS together shud bring back Our GHSP #1 the position which it truly deserves and which only belongs to GHSP bcuz GHSP MAANEET r the bestest of the best so they deserve the bestest of the best!
