TRP's - What can we do?

I just looked at TellyBuzz articles on TRP's. "Our" show has actually gone from 2.1 on March 7 (top show was DABH at 5.9) to 2.9 on March 21 before dropping to 2.6 on march 28; 2.2 on April 4 and 2.0 on April 12; finally 1.7 on April 25 (DABH at 3.6). So its not that it never had the eyeballs it has just lost them... Also note even DABH the top show has lost TRP's in this period.

As viewers we are all clear we want the show to go on... Please dont take it away 😭

My questions are:

❓First, Does anyone here actually know how the TRP system works? For example I used to record the 7.30 pm show and watch it later (can Fast Forward the ads that way!) Does that count for TRP's?

❓Secondly, does the TRP system count every viewer (how?) or do they have a panel of viewers they monitor? In which case those who are not on the panel cant influence TRP's.

❓Finally why cant SLB get the show moved to the 10.30 slot? They could switch SC with Veera.

❓Point for the channel/ PH to ponder : The IPL started on April 3, so our TRP's started dropping even before the IPL started. Why?

1. If u live in india n use TM box then u wl have to watch sc at real time slot i.e. 7.30 pm fr contributing to flourish trp rate..repeat telecast has no precedence to wax trp rate.
2. Only native viewer can contribute in trp rate not any international viewer.
3. I heard somewhere(mn't remembering now where) there was 2 time slots fr selection. 1 was 8pm n another 7.3pm. N SLB chose this slot fr urban ppl that they wouldn't wait fr this show till more nite..moreover, veera is gud trp achiever at 10.30 pm fr sp hence sp won't change its time slot ever.
I hope it wl light help to get ur ans.

yes, seems like the trps started dropping before the ipl started..i think the gau hatya track was dragged too much and it seemed to be out of place..i mean in india people don't care about killing humans in road accidents and here they r showing how villagers r making big issue on killing a cow! there were few illogical incidents that did not make any sense, maybe that is why the viewership fell flat..it was at one point leading its time slot, and then after gau hatya track it never picked up! i guess now they have to move the story further, as the story keeps going in circles..the show has a lot of scope because of its good cast and different storyline..hope the trps pick up in the future!

Only a bunch of homes contribute to TRP. They are the ones which have TRP metres at their homes and they are in North India. So, basically those bunch of ppl do not watch Saraswatichandra more. We can't do anything about it. I wish they could change this TRP system. I guess most of the ppl who watch Saraswatichandra, watch it online or at a later slot, rather than at 7:30pm. Moreover, the story is not over the top which normal Indian audience is used to. It's a subtle love story with symbolism and stuff.

Btw some member had made a post about TRP sometime back. I don't have the link, may be you can search the forum.

We dont have to do anything.

SLB have to. He should get the brains to show some sensible story.
