At that Time, the BARC system had not started. And the sample size taken for calculating TRPs, was probably more in urban cities - especially Mumbai, coz that's the hub of ITV. When BARC came and introduced rural and urban charts etc, I think the sample size was changed to include some other cities. So the urban charts we know and we get to see, no one knows which urban areas they take etc. Since then, I have seen Sony shows except for reality shows have like WAYY lower TRPs. Like much below average. Their highest is 1.1-1.2, while other channels have their LOWEST rated shows in that range.
And moreover, Sony is probably not watched a lot by a lot of the people coz their shows are always more urbane than other channels and rural type shows don't really work on Sony right? Tara from Satara is going off. There was one more about some Mayka-Dulhan types. 😆
Plus I guess people who didn't watch Sony didn't opt for it in the new subscription system, so the reach of Sony is much lesser too.
