Serious Topic: TRP's and Star gazing

Ok first of all I just want to say I'm not a TRP tracker at all!...like AT ALL😆 The only time I get some info is from some of the Thread titles floating around the forum.

Unfortunately this TRP only represents Indian viewership. I also don't bother about TRP but when see that RR TRP is lower than BI then it hurts cause RR is a much better show, in terms of every aspect , is better than BI. Both shows were launched at the same time but just because of marketing strategy and the channel's attention, it is getting more TRP than RR. I don't mind any show gaining high TRP but RR not getting same treatment as Beinteha from the channel is annoying.

Since I am not in India, I dont care about TRPs

Trp matters.. But the trp of RR is just a little low compared to bani, BI..

In Australia, I get to watch UK version in my TV not the Asia Pasific one. Here we don't get to watch Bani...is it the same in UK ? No Bani but Sanskar and other shows are running with promo of Beinteha showing during every single break😕! If no promo, they can at least show RR regular promo ...wo vhi nehi dekhati, not for a single time...my bad! The whole weekend my TV was on just to check if any regular promo comes for RR, but no, nothing was there, not for once. We should complain to Colors. A show needs to be properly marketed to get popularity. If the channel leaves it for the fate to decide, then RR can't do much by itself. Most of us don't care about TRP but unfortunately the channel people does😲. Hope RR survives from it's wrath.

May Be RR is not getting trp coz at 9:30 most news channels cover election related news and debates. Which makes lots of difference. It's really difficult for a women to snatch remote from hubby's hand an watch RR. Personnel experience yaar... I wanna watch RR at 9:30 always end up with repeat telecast...

I will post something I posted somewhere else
my real life job is primarily to do with some business sector understanding let me give a trythis is a medium to highly concentrated industrythere are three parties mainly , makers. production house , channel , creative team ,there intentions and interests are different from a show
the makers :i think every show is made for a target audience ,the main concentration for the makers is on attaining viewership in least time , -ad revenue
the channel :more with popularity , mostly a specific target group , the channel would really like it , if the show may not be gathering good trps but is very poluplar with a different group (like the teens or men)-more subscription
catering to one target group c
Creative team :they want the show to be noticed among the other makers and not channel , so trp again is the motivator -more projects inter competition mostly trp driven(something that can go positive and negative , may be the trp snake is not that big after all , it is as big as they make it )
This is the group we follow , writers , actors , I think one reason trps seem so big


with RRwho is the target group , the similarities in some dialogues and teh kind of romantic scenes , i think they are trying to target the younger crowd , the crowd which came to existence after IPKand colors is not the only channel , star too we have IPK 2 , IPK was not the most watched show(trp wise) i am sure we would have not a DABH cos there is no gap there , there is some other show with similar themewith IPK's closure , there was a new may not be new but strong target group identified , that is also to do with overseas viewingi feel the makers have a lot of faith in the project for teh same reason , initial episodes were more or all about rudra's dark side , paro's angle came much much laterbut but it didnot do business like they expected , and the split , which again i feel is partially due to lack of trust in the project , or feeling more trust in the other projectnow they tried modifying the story to be more inclusive , and gather trps first ,if you show a public proposal from a village girlor dilsher being burnedor a sudden hate marriage , the viewers might tune in to see what is happening , that is like buying a coke once if a new ad comes up , but whether you keep buying it depends on how much you like it , and the daily soap is not coke , it doesnt work on one time sales but on retentiontrps will gain in , because a lot of newer people might tune in but is it sustainable ?
That will depend on the connect the show can establish

I think, though UK or other international viewership are not counted to determine TRP but the overnight viewing or a show's overall viewing counts to decide the show's popularity at international level. As for the shut down of a show for low TRP, I really am not sure what actually makes the channel stop a show cause as for a serial called " Sanskar" running at Colors, has really low TRP which fluctuates between 1 and 1.5 is there for long time and is still going on!

That gives me hope that RR won't be shut only due to TRP cause it has better TRP than few other shows of Colors and has a huge fan following overseas.

maybe at some point these shows that appeal to us nubile nymphets are too uncomfortable to watch with the families at 9:30 in India ? So girls end up watching them on the internet ? I don't know 😕
