A GENERAL TAKE ON TRP'S

I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT TRP'S AND THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE ARTICLE POSTED BY ME.

YES IT IS MY OUTLOOK ON THE ISSUE I HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH OF TIME JUST TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE ON A LARGER SCALE PLZ DO READ AND THEN PLZ DO COMMENT......AND ALL OTHERS ARE WELCOME TO POST THERE VIEWS ALSO...............

>>WHAT EVER THE GAME PLAN BE OF TRP'S ITS THE MASSES WHO WATCH SOME THING THAT THEY LIKE IN EVERY HOME.

>>THERE ARE THREE GROUPS

>>1ST WHO WATCHES NEWS, SPORTS AND REALITY TV SHOWS
>>2ND FICTIONAL DRAMA'S MOVIES BASED SHOWS OR
>>3RD SAY POOR KIDS WHO GET TO WATCH CARTOONS NETWORK
AND DISCOVERY SHOWS AND SPORTS BUT FOR LIMITED TIME...

IF WE CALCULATE BY THE PERSENTAGE OF NORTH, EAST, WEST AND SOUTH THERE ARE MANY PLACES WHERE IN HOMES THERE ARE OTHER LANGUAGES SPOKEN BUT STILL EVERY STATE HAS HINDI SPEAKING PEOPLE SOMEPLACES HIGH IN PERCENTAGE AND SOMEWHERE VERY FEW

THE TRP'S WHICH IS {TELEVISION RATING POINT}

IT IS CALCULATED IN A DIFFERNT WAY

FOR INSTANCE
A SHOW GARNERS 1 TRP= 5-6 MILLION OR LACS PEOPLE WATCH ALTOGETHER
SO THE RECENT TRPS OF THE LONGEST RUNNING SHOW KYUNKI SAAS BHI KABHI BAHU THI IS 4.2 SO SOME 25 MILLION 20 HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT IS ABOUT 25 LACS AND 20 THOUSAND PEOPLE WATCH THE SHOW THAT IS DECENT BUT IF LIKE FOR INSTANCE IF A SHOW FAILS TO GET MORE THAN 1 TRP ITS LESS THAT 6 LACS PEOPLE WATCHING THE SHOW
HENCEFORTH THE CHANNEL HAS A LOSS IN ITS REVENUE....AND ALSO GETS LESS REVENUES FROM THE ADVETISERS

SO GUYS VIRRUDH INSPITE OF BEING AN AWESOME SHOW HAS NOT GARNERED HIGH TRPS

BUT ITS THE FACT CAN'T FORCE THE MASSES TO STOP WTCHING THEIR STAPLE DIET SHOWS LIKE SAAS BAHU SAGAS AND YES LOUD REALITY SHOWS LIKE ZEE'S SAREGAMA WHICH GARNERS HIGHEST TRP'S AND ITS CHANNEL IS ON 1ST AND 2ND POSITION...............AND SOME AREAS AS SMRITI SAID ARE NOT ADDED IN THE CALCULATION LIKE PUNJAB HARYANA AND MAY BE RAJASTHAN ECT ECT SO MAYBE IT IS JUST A NUMBER GAME.....OR THE TAM CALCULATES IT WRONGLY IS ALSO A QUESTION IN A COUNTRY WHICH HAS AN APPROXIMATELY 100 CRORES POPULATION IF SAY PERCENTAGE B.P.L {BELOW PORVERTY LINE} ARE EXCLUDED THE REST OF PEOPLE DO HAVE ATLEAST A TV SET IN THERE HOMES AND ALSO PEOPLE WHO ARE {A.P.L} ABOVE PORVERTY LINE SOME WHO ARE HIGHER POSITION HAVE MORE THAN 1 SO ALL THESE MINUTE DETAILS COUNT...............OR MY ESTIMATION IS NOT ACCURATE BUT SOMEHWERE DOWN THE LINE IS TRUE!!!

SO WE CAN JUST HOPE THAT PEOPLE WATCH GOOD SHOWS LIKE SMRITI'S VIRUDH AND THODI SI ZAMEEN THODA SA AASMAAN.....WHICH HAVE NOT SCORED HIGH TRP'S......ONE I WOULD REALLY WUD LIKE TO MENTION IS KYA HOGA NIMMO KAA WHEN STARTED AS A SUTTLE COMEDY SHOW AND PARTICULARLY NOT A SAAS BAHU SERIAL BUT YET POEPLE PREFFERED KAHANI GHAR GHAR KII OVER IT.........SO IT SUDDENLY TURNED ON TO BECOME A LOUD DRAMA SHOW SO WHOM TO BLAME THE CALCULATION OF RATINGS OR CONTENT OR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND PROMOTION OR NON GLOSSY AND NO LOUD MAKE UP.......................WHAT EVER MAY IT BE AS A PART OF THE MASSES I FEEL REALLY BAD THAT SHOWS SURVIVE NOT ON ITS CRITICAL ACCLAIM BUT TRP'S

PEOPLE PLZ POST UR COMMENTS AND VIEWS......

SHOULD THE TRP CALCULATION CHANGE?

IS IT FARE TO AXE A SHOW JUST ON THE BASIS OF TRP'S?

PLS FEEL FREE TO RAISE QUESTIONS.........

you are completely right this show is the best in tv right now and should not be axed

Wow, you have really taken pains to write this analysis, and I agree with most things you have said. 👏 👏 👏


I don't know all the details about the TRP system, but is't it about how many TV sets are switched on when a show in on air? Now, supposing a home has 2 Tv sets. At one set, 4 people sit and watch VIruddh since it is a clean show. At the other set, only 1 person sits and watches some Kekta show. That means, each show gets 1 set each but the number of people watching them is different.

IN other words, this system favours shows that are NOT suitable to be watched with the entire family (such as saas-bahu crap and some comedy shows) because only 1-2 members watch per set; while shows that are watched by many do not get high TRPs because, though the number of people watching is high, since they are all watching together only 1 set is switched on. So, the entire system is flawed.

Good analysis, ABD and Blyton. 👏 👏 👏
