i live in California and my cable company, Xfinity , offers IPKKND at 5pm and repeat show at 9.30 pm.

1. i always DVR the 5pm show as i get off work at that time and by the time i get to sit down and watch the recording it is 8.00 pm or so.

thus i do not think we will be able to get accurate international trps as shows air at different times , depending on the time slot.

2. Maha episodes in the weekends are not convenient for me, as i have weekend plans. and i am not going to give up my weekend plans. its Saturday nights i want to go out. Even if the content is gr8 i still will not watch ME as i like to go out. i will dvr it to watch later on Sunday when its convenient for me.

and i think the producers and makers of shows understand the availability of their target audience.

eg. IPPKND target audience is mostly younger generation , who have to study , or are at work or simply have plans to go out.

also sometimes the younger audience are not given the choice of channel picks at home by their family members.

eg. DABH, EHMMBH , these shows target women mostly in their prime or people connect with it cause someone in their family had suffered from prolonged illness or so. lolz the weird thing is that this target audience enjoy watching others in misery i.e the characters portrayed in the show.

and most of this target audience, stay at home in the weekends and are able to watch and enjoy their ME .

consider the trps of Satyamev Vijaytev, its averaging around the 2.5 ratio. this is a great show, the message from this show is awesome and the host also carries a certain charisma yet it has not reached the same trp level as a week day tear jerkier.

its got audience from across the board.

i understand this is a reality show compared to the soaps but still it has similar contents. discusses the rights of people, and generally tries to bring more awareness to issues.

so why are people still not watching this show in throngs like they do the soaps??

( this show airs in California at 8.00 am on Sundays, and i m either sleeping or working at that time and i usually dvr this program too. )

convenience of time is very important for me, i don't think international trps are going to work as the timing varies vastly. whereas in India majority of the target audience are at home having dinner or family time between the 6.00pm - 9.00pm slot.

Hi, im in SoCal...i watch IPK at 5pm and if they start TRPS...ill even watch at 9 pm slot :))) n even if we recard it on dvr , it should count, the channel goes back to that prob...

awesome for you to watch the 5.00pm show !!!

IPKKND is the only hindi serial i watch currently and frankly i also like to watch certain american shows so its not that convenient for me to watch the 9.00pm shows.

but you are correct in the sense that there should be accountability.

the trp monitors need to take into consideration the online views and also the recordings . Sometimes i watch certain recorded episodes again and again on tv as i loved it and i think they should also count the number of times we repeat watch these recordings.
