ya all 3 r basically the same in prime time.
but star is only there becuase of 2 shows, while all r doing well for zee

but colors is getting 18 trp's with two original shows in the afternoon and zee getting 14 with no originals, so i think it's performing veryy well.

Stand-offs with the cable operators also affect the ratings of the GECs. Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd chief revenue officer Joy Chakraborthy admitted that Zee may have lost some share because of its dispute with an MSO (multiple system operator) which had switched off the channel in some areas. Besides this, broadcasters and cable operators renegotiate deals in March, which can lead to sudden disruptions in distribution.
