Hi all,

How are TRPs calculated. Does a viewer have to watch the program, a few minutes of the program, is recording counted?
So even if the show shifts to afternoon, someone could record it, autotune it to "ON" and then get the "sleep" switch or something on the TV to function after a few minutes so the TV turns off?
I dont know how savvy everyone is about this stuff, but the TRP could be easily manipulated so atleast the story doesnt take a hit. Even if the TRPs are relatively high the show should get the respect it deserves, if not well they should end it on a positive note :) and move th team to some other channel. But with the many thousands of viewers in India I wonder is this is doable :)
SP India-👎🏼😡

What is TRP rating is? how tv programs r rated?
Television rating Point- TRP is the criterion that indicates the popularity of a channel or programme and this data is very useful for the advertisers. In a highly clustered market targeting audiences it is very problematic because in the market there are numerous channels with a variety of programmes catering round the clock to a vast and scattered population. Television ratings provide information about the viewers TV watching habits and the socio-economic background of the audience. This helps advertisers and corporate media planners in selecting the right media at the right time.
Presently, INTAM (Indian Television Audience Measurement) is the only electronic rating agency functioning in India. INTAM uses two methodologies for calculating TRP. First is frequency monitoring, in which 'people meters' are installed in sample homes and these electronic gadgets continuously record data about the channel watched by the family members. 'People meter' is a costly equipment, which is imported from abroad. It reads the frequencies of channels, which are later, decoded into the name of the channels and the agency prepares a national data on the basis of its sample homes readings.
Second technique is more reliable and relatively new to India. In picture matching technique people meter continuously records a small portion of the picture that is being watched on that particular television set. Along with this agency also records all the channels' data in the form of small picture portion. Data collected from the sample homes is later on matched with the main data bank to interpret the channel name. And this way national rating is produced.
Presently, TRP is based upon only a small urban sample of 5500 homes spread all over India.
Many times channels misrepresent the TRP facts in their favour. For example, if a channel gets top ratings during a specific time slot it advertises this fact as number one channel. While in terms of average ratings another channel is on the top. Actually, leading in ratings for a long time has become very difficult to achieve now-a-days. There would be continuous fluctuation in the top positions. TRP has become such a big issue for channels that it is almost dictating the content of television programmes. Once the TRP crosses six points, the producer feels no dearth of advertisers. Unless and until a new and more reliable mode of ratings is evolved advertisers, channels have no other option but to rely upon the present system of TRP only and viewers to suffer it.

Called SP mumbai again. today they are answering the calls. but giving the same answer. every time i asked what was the reason for changing the time when people are so opposed to it and the show has been consistently in their top 3 shows and in the top 10 shows for the last 4 days, no proper answer and instead i was put onto another person. i spoke to three different people like this. but answer is the same. I also told her about how i am repeatedly calling STD in the middle of a working day and my calls are being cut off. i said if you have made a decision and don't care about what your viewers think then why don't you just tell us instead of saying its being decided 'cos if you are considering our feedback then you should not be showing any promos about the time change until a final decision is made. after all you haven't shown any promos anyways for so many months so why the hurry suddenly? By doing this you are only making people more angry! When i told her about the trps and all that she said is that the only reason i was concerned (in a tone as if that was not important) so i told her that no i cannot watch the show in the afternoon since i'm at work! So please make sure to tell them that if the time is changed you CANNOT watch the show!!!! I also told her that for every one person like me who calls them, there will be hundreds who will not call or mail but will simply pickup their remote and change the channel!! of course their answer to everything was the same.... we will pass on your message!
