Also Hum claimed 23-24 trp for IM earlier this year but Aamna Hassan clearly mentioned KMKT with 20 is the highest after MPTH

Why are they lying ?

Hum considers different metrics. They don’t fake anything. They consider an age group of 15 to 35 years with A, B & C sectors only. They mention it in their flyers.

IM was still the highest TRP getter in the last few years with a TRP of 19 before KMKT surpassed it. I have a doubt with KMKT’s highest TRP as well. This time that Pdptrp account didn’t reduce the ratings after considering ads. He just posted it as such.

I get the absolute part but can the ranking be also different in different metrics

I think media logic(the original TRP provider) does that, a channel can't apply any formula & change the original rating. They give different TRPs to channels; TRP of ABC centers, TRP of ABCD centers etc. Channel post if they tops in either category.

Yes it could be. Seems like Hum dramas are more popular in those sectors only. Also Pak has around 70% population in below 30 years age group. So it’s understandable why they consider younger population.

They post the TRP of other dramas airing at that slot as per those metrics only. If they didn’t mention it in their flyers then only we can say that they fake TRPs.

All other channels include ages 15-45. Hum TV typically uses 15-35 or 18-35. So it's not like other channels do not include younger demo it's that Hum TV excludes 35+ demo.

All other channels include all centers ABCDE. Hum TV typically uses ABC centers only. So it's not like other channels do not include class audiences it's that Hum TV excludes mass centers.

Hum TV is not faking TRP but they are slicing and dicing data to report TRP for a partial group of viewers - youth and class audiences. If you are an MTV or Bloomberg, you can get away by saying that your programming is targeted at youth only or at wall street investor types. Hum TV programming is meant for general audience just like ARY, GEO, Express, etc. But if your programming is not targeted at specific demographics but your TRP is only calculated for a selected demographic, it is not justified.

I meant younger group only not that others are excluding that age group. Whatever works for them. Pak needs an agency like Baarc that can post TRP of shows from all channels under single metric system.

i think so too. e8 was smd's pink nighty moment - that dhamaka moment in a krq script which determines whether drama uthega (ya nahi). if the dhamaka worked to hook the audience, trp will grow from here on now warna it will likely stay where it's at.

You really think with this weeks entire focus being on zaviyar, sadaf, marhum and falana dhimkana with no bilal or bilsad in sight the trps would increase?

I'm sure it's gonna drop further, and would go back to 5s and 6s.

People say KRQ shows start slow and then a dhamaka moment comes jiske baad drama zor pakadta hai. For SMD, e8 where Sadaf propositions BA was supposed to be that dhamaka moment. Iss moment ke baad bhi TRP nahi zor pakdi toh aagay bhi nahi pakday gi.

I think we should just accept the reality that SMD is more like KRQ's Mann Jali than PA/MPTH. In Mann Jali, the focus was on Mehwish and her journey, and Faris was the selfless ek tarfa pyaar. Kaddu tried to sell SMD as BA ki story but the writing does not support it. The writing is about Sadaf ki zindagi, uske masle masayal, how she overcomes her struggles, how her feelings for BA evolve and transition. BA is just this one-dimensional cktr whose only job is being in one-sided love with Sadaf and worshipping at her altar. At least in MPHT, we saw Saad as a brother and a son, his breakdown at his father's death, his camaraderie with his sister. Here BA has no identity besides being selflessly in love with Sadaf. But they don't even bother with properly setting up or showing why or how BA got to this point -- that just tells you how (not) central is BA's cktr. BA apparently has a backstory but we will likely get a few lines of exposition dump in one episode, never to be heard again. His drunkenness never surfaced again after e3. We never saw BA having any struggles with overcoming his addiction nor we will see that journey of his either. All we will get is filler scenes of BA moping so makers can pretend it is BA's story. Whether it was writing, direction acting, BA as an addict and womanizer subplot was just wall paper thin and his change beginning e3 had zero depth and writing support, and doubt it will do later as well.

Another project of Wahaj with misleading marketing.
