Thanks for the post and the article included.

Hope everyone in the forum reads it and realises that one can't just turn on the TV set five minutes before a show is to begin to contribute to the TRPS!!

I wrote something on these lines...though of course, nothing as detailed and specific as the article you included, in the forum of the previous show we watched and got struck down by practically everyone, including the Mod! Since then, I've given up making people understand the reality of things.

What I don't understand is this...why do the actors tell us to watch the show at the time it begins on TV and not in on the Net when they know very well how Trps are computed??

Well its simply states that TRP's can be manipulated... People at whose houses the peopleometers are installed can be influenced to watch a particular channel or a show in rue of some money...

The article does not talk about a particular show or channel or production house and nor do we... !!!

Now i understand that why SP shows always had high TRP's, i think they surely pay for manupalting TRP's, This is so sick, Is there anything in India which is not corrupted...


Lets not do this...

As stated the article does not target a particular show or a channel or a production house and nor do we... I'm guessing... everyone in the industry must have a clue about this... After all it does not seem to be a very small thing...

thanks for the article its crazy what you can trigger now adays for TRP's and there is sooo much hype surrounding it as well...suppose there is no true reflection on how well a show does but thne it is used hugely to sum up the success of a show its sad times that we are sooo obsessed with TRP thats whether its manipulated or not will still effect how a show is perceived 😕

❤️ 👏 absolutely ! just read an article of trp manipulation in FB also ! who authenticates is my question ? a sample of some thousands to the ratio of 1.22 billion population of India is like filling a cup of water from an ocean !

does it really make a difference ?


Agree!!!

Besides with the increase in the technology online viewership needs to be taken into account. Its not only the 1.22 billion in India but also many Indians settled overseas that watch these shows... Some even subscribe to such specific channels ... Is that ever considered? It makes such a huge difference...

Yup!!! We have always being saying that all along... TRP's are determined based on peopleometers installed in a specific few homes... I remember the number of discussion we had in our previous forum on the same topic...

But whats more surprising is how a channel or a prod house would decide the fate of a show based on these mere ratings... Doesn't seem to be true after all... Guess this is all just a gimmick to make a fool out of the people...

Exactly and to top it all we have to bear all the glum ambiance on a place that we visit to have some fun and relax... !!!!
