If we look at BARC India's impression for week 48, we can see that KZK 2 was in the 18th rank with 2785 impressions, out of Top 20 Rural GEC Programs. Here

So even if this week and probably even before last week, KZK was not in top 20 position, lets say it was among top 50 program watched in the Rural GEClist, yet even if 1 percent of that 99 million rural tv viewing population watch KZK, it still accounts for around 1 million rural GEC viewers. So how can we be sure that whatever @bookworm had said in her post in a different thread which became the precedent for this thread, is not true? Agreed that not everyone would watch KZK with reasons as resonated by @bookworm, but even whatever we think are guesses and conjectures. Unless we have data that breaks down the reasons for which viewers watch (or doesn't) a particular Show as well as the proportions of each of those reasons, the other person's reasons are as good or as bad as mine....
