If the news is accurate, it means the channel has told them to pull up their socks. Usually, they'll have given a deadline as well.

TRP is such a messy system, which is why I don't discuss it much online. BARC points are pulled basis a sample of 40,000 households and businesses in the country with a TV connection. No one except the agency knows which 40,000 are being sampled at any given time, but iirc, the breakup is 60:40 for urban:rural and 65:35 for Hindi-speaking/South. 25% of the panel is changed annually, with the entire set of empanelled households thus renewing every 4 years.

Point is, in a country of 1.3bn+ people, 40,000 is a terrible representative sample. Additionally, TRP is taken as the only metric for the success or failure of a show. When the only metric is such an unreliable standard, success or failure becomes a shot in the dark. It ends up boiling down to luck more than anything else.

That’s actually very sad. Mhrw is the first show I have really involved myself with and it has made me realise how much hard work goes behind these daily soaps! 😯

It's been hard, but I've maintained protocol very strictly, even when the rules lightened up. Not worth getting sick or making other sick.

Glad that you did. Yes it’s not worth it.

A lot of information about BARC and TRP has become publicly available after the recent TRP scandals. Pehle toh kuch info hi nahi milti thi. In 2016, I had a media studies elective, and I was trying to write about TRP, and how it's calculated, and there was nothing online. It took hours upon hours of research to find the tiniest scraps of information, the research reduced me to tears, literally. And it was mindblowing to me, that the single metric of success for a television show has such little transparency, and is so poorly understood by the consumers of the content.

So tab se hi, I've retained this fascination in the behind the scenes of it all, even though I actually follow hardly one or two shows.

IDK if it interests anyone else as much as me, but this is a really comprehensive breakdown of the BARC methodology: https://barcindia.co.in/measurement/television-audience-measurement-description-of-methodology.pdf
