ok..the name sounds silly but.I couldn't think of a good name... All that I want to communicate through this thread is that how much does TRP matter these days rather why TRP matter so much...Is it indeed a measure of a shows popularity?
According to me NO...would like to know your views though
TRP was fine when the only way of watching a show was TV...but these days due to DTH people can record a show and watch it later...also people catch episodes of their fav shows on youtube and other sources as per their convenience.
Take a show like RBO the kind of viewers it has are not necessarily the one who will watch it when it is being aired on the TV ...but may catch it later online...they may not even watch it but create VMs or make posts and discusss it...does this not count as popularity?
According to me most of the viewed gallery on starone site is that of RBO...also the most no of comments are on RBOs article (Please correct me if I am wrong coz I have started following RBO since October only)...Its only when it comes to voting that we fall short at times....but the no of posts and variety of discussions we have about the show and its characters...the lovely VMs ...the siggies..the likes...the silent readers...is it not a proof that we love RBO so much and the show is quite popular amongst the kind of audience it is meant to cater to....Primarily youth...so why should TRP be considered as a measure of how this show is and make the show face consequences like no promos or repeats...I really feel frustrated at times..
Please give your views.
I hope my post makes sense...and the content is relevant...also my comments in the post are based on several assumptions...
Thankyou...
Love,
Madhura..

Let me think about this a little more to even add to what youve said.
It is quite powerful actually
I dont want to randomly say something

I agree yaar
I sincerely doubt the TRP system
Many scrap shows killing characters all of a sudden bringing generation leaps showing extra marital affairs for just boosting the so called trps are considered to be high in trps
😭😭😭
And I personally feel
TRP system is not properly designed at all.
It does not always take into account popular sentiments but only popular channels and over promoted shows 😭

As I'm out of India and not being an Indian, I don't have any idea of TRPs. But I've read about it and after that all I can say is I cannot believe it at all. They count it from particular areas in India, also as per the basis of the TRP system it is more like a game.

Personally, I feel that they should measure the popularity of the shows using another system, I mean as internet is widely used today, it is not fair to depend on calculative population to rate the shows.

Nice post.Never gave the TRP's much thought cos for me the show holds more importance.Came to know recently from the other forum where I was before I landed here,that TRP's aren't taken from all over India and TAM ratings seem more important.But then I don't see ant Star One shows being in TRP's or TAM's so no idea how the show from Star One remained top all this time.And most of the people who come to IF live abroad and the only way to watch to be in line with India's episodes is to watch online and that doesn't contribute to TRP's at all and I agree,I feel there should be an another way to calculate this so called TRp's.

As for RBO,I feel this forum is definitely hatke.It might be a Star One show but the way we discuss things over here instead of just gushing at whatever romance they show between ShaNak shows that.And not just FF's or VM's.We actually have real discussions which cannot be seen in the so called top show forums.And how come people are not aware of this show is truly baffling cos there is a live update thread(which is fantaastic.Thanks to Priya,Teech and others),we get the video asap and written update with in an hour.Isn't that enough to show that this show has a huge popularity?

Star One ignoring RBO doesn't seem to help the matters either.Read somewhere that RBO is just romance all the time,then which show on Star One isn't lol.
