Chaska Meter Show Ranking for 7/18/2011 to 7/24/2011 - Page 26

how can be pkyek go so low . pkyekians this matter is very serious we have to do something . we can't let our dearest show lose its ranking day by day . now its hightime we have to do something😭

okay Vijay if you are reading this... which I assume you might not because of the number of pages but neway... I will give it a try...

On second thoughts to this whole TRP thingy, I felt that TRPs should be one of the factors in determining the CM ratings... kyunki agar TRPs nahin hoti toh humara serial nahin hota... GHSP nahin hota...and I would not have been here on IF arguing over this new and weird algorithm here ...simple period...but ...but...but... This should be relative...I mean something like ratio and proportion in Mathematics...

For example, for total TRPs for Star One, Geet has say X TRPS, then for total TRPs of Star Plus how much TRPs would geet have... use this result and allocate, say, 10% - 20%(pick anything within this range please nothing more than 20%) for TAM TRPs of all the parameters that might be used to determine chaska meter ratings...
Note: Here we might have to consider the total TRPs (in the above example Total TRPs of Star Plus) of the top most TRP gainer channel to be as a reference... though this peopleometer used to determine TRPs is defective and faulty,it gives the 'Real TRPs', and also as this parameter is only 10-20% part of all the parameters... it can be easily overlooked as others parameters also have certain assumptions like MIDs, etc...One problem with my algo is that the reach of the channel factor ... how to find that i dunno...😛

I know its brain racking and sounds complex... but the whole gist behind this is that... This is the only solution I could come up with😆... now don't pounce on me guys and gals...peace and enjoy understanding my algorithm if it has any takers😛😃

hw can geet be at #9 n then at #4 plz recheck it...thats not possible...

190 pages and still the thread is open

Thanx for reconsidering the issue.
Well here' my take on it.
I just want to say that many people don't know how the system of trp works in India... so there is need for the awareness on the issue but including this system in calculating the popularity and ranking of any show on this online portal is very unfair. Let me tell you how.
First and foremost rule of conducting a survey is that your sample size must reflect the universe...
This hardly happens when TRPs & GRPs are calculated.
India's population is over 1.21 billion... After this another important factor is: out of this how many homes have TV sets & how many have cable/dth connection.
Next question is about the reach of every channel.
The reach of every channel is different. For example reach of Doordarshan is widest in India around 90%... star plus & sony too have more reach than their sister channels.
Another point which should be considered while conducting a survey is the language of the region which plays an important role when the language of the channel doesn't match the language of the particular region.
The company which conducts the survey (TAM media) has not disclosed the methodology of conducting a survey. It doesn't mean that they should reveal the names & location of the households. Instead it means that they should reveal that how many peoplometers have been installed in every region.
Another factor which can also play a major role in such a survey is the education level of the families, occupation and habits of tv viewing (which are affected by other factors as well including the native language of a person & income levels).
Education level because many of the middle class don't like to watch hindi or language dramas... instead they prefer watching english or movie channels or Nat geo or discovery.
Occupation also affects the habit of television viewing... its not that one member of your family likes to watch a show, then whole family would like to watch it.
Till now we don't know the exact mechanism of calculating the TRPs & without making the details public one can not judge the accuracy of the system.
Age & language factor
Now a days every channel is trying to cater to the audience of different age groups & language. So we have shows which target audience of 5-14, 15-30, 30 +
Language of the region also matters a lot so one single channel is trying to include the shows which can entertain different regions like north India (Bihar, U.P, etc), Gujarat, Bengal, etc. (These days more and more Gujarati shows are coming up.
So to conduct a survey all these factors should be included & considered well.
In this situation anyone can understand that how difficult it is to conduct a survey every week. The survey company is doing a commendable job yet it doesn't reflect the real situation.
Now coming to the online popularity of any show.
Only the people having an Internet connection can add to the online popularity of the show... so the reach & penetration of the Internet connection also matters... There are lot of people who watch a particular show on TV but don't come to internet & vice versa... so here lies the actual problem... & that is why I'm against this decision of including TRPs & GRPs in calculating the popularity here on this forum. I'm also asking the question that how ethical & appropriate it is to include TRPs & GRPs in the survey of an online portal.

very well and appropriate article ...thanks for highlighting the facts ...

yayyy guys good going ... complete 200 soon 😉

I think it has all to do with business... Advertising money... TRP rich soaps r bound to get more advertisements... SO change the Ranking system to accommodate TRP rich forums to get them more advertisers... So sickkk
