Yup ja is on no3 in urban + rural area barc ratings
With 7047 points in rural n 2,286 points in urban area means 9333 total point...its clearly shw that ja getting higher trps coz of rural areas where most of consumers subscribe only free to air channels thats why in rural areas rerun of saath nibhana saathiya getting more numbers than original run on sp n channel like sony pal tops the chart in rural ratings...so basically its all depends on channels availability in rural areas...
But phir bhi as a fan of JA I m happy for its successful rerun even i m happy for shw like bandini which getting its due in rerun coz in original rerun despite great performance of ronit roy as dharamraj didn't get gud trps...
One more thing may be I m wrong but i think all ruq torture n even sanar track will going to get high trps coz of rural audience dnt hv more options...
P.S. sorry if hurt anyone feeling...
The creditable thing about the ratings is that it is for tracks which even passionate JA fans, like on this forum don't watch regularly. A person watches repeats only if he/she likes what was seen in the original run. That is not the case here but still people are watching.
Even in rural areas competition is tough, every channel has free to air broadcasts and there reach is roughly the same for the main channels, recently completed shows of all channels are being re broadcast and yet JA rules.
