What is a TRP?

What exactly are they and how are they measured?

For example, if a show has a trp of 3.5.. what is that, 3.5 what? million? don't see how thats possible though:\

sorry i'm very confused as I am relatively new to tellywood 😛 QH is the first Indian drama that i have watched 😆

PS - how are shows like DABH at the top of TRP charts every week... do people seriously enjoy those types of shows 😕😛

loving qh even without ksg 😊 trp will never fall to 0 lol... sorry 😛

What's up with you. YOU ARE SO MEAN 😡. GTFO here.

I am in advertising so let me just clear some things about TRP, while the sample population of people who have meters might be smaller than we like, these people are selected with much research done to represent the general population. It is not like they select a random sample of people ad say lets measure TRP based on them, sampling is done with scientific methodology representing the population. If it was so flawed, businesses wont spend millions of rupees on advertising and buying ad spots. These people have measurements in place to maximise what advantages these ad spots give them. Also the reason why only Indian viewers count for TRPs is that these companies are advertising to the Indian population, running ads for the Indian population, it makes no difference to them whether a person in the UK or US watch these ads, because these ad spots are not targeted to them. Also maximum revenue TV channels get is from advertising not subscription and that is exactly why TRPs matter. Online popularity is good for word of mouth publicity but their target audience in terms of revenue is the Indian audience.

I'm echoing every word you said 😉 . Especially this "QH is the first Indian drama that i have watched" . And you know what, I don't even understand Hindi. So fortunate that the broadcasting in my country has English sub. We are 3 epi's behind from India, but I can follow it online so that I'm up-to-date with the story. And thanks to the wonderful people here at this forum who provide lovely pov's, so i feel very much lucky in better understanding the scenes.

As I said, I don't understand Hindi, so when there's a sentence in Hindi I go 😔 . But that's your right and I still love you all ❤️ . So, I wanna say thank you to everybody and give you all a tight 🤗 .

I'm sorry, I'm dwelling 😊, back to the topic. Yeah, you have TRP, TVM, GTV, I really don't get that at all. I'm so 😆.
