TRP readings are based on very select and small sample usually based in the metros...
TAM is a better measure is what is claimed.
I am from South India and there is a huge TV industry in Hyd, Chennai and Bengaluru...they have their own serials in local lang.
Curently BV and Laado are being dubbed in Telugu🤔...lagging well behind in story line...
Lot of people do watch Uttaran but thn i know loads who don't either...sometimes people have channel loyalty, like my MIL watches Zee more than any other channel, others have their fav actors ...like half my cousins are huge fans of Harshad 😛so they would watch TereLiye irrespective of storyline...same with IqbalKhan/Sangini...which are same time slot as UT...and so on
TPR are based on a sample in certain cities in certain HHs, add to this the local lang shows - so somehow it doesnt seem representative of a country as a whole! Hence I don't believe it...
But when there is a huge drama coming up like Veecha wedding(that didnt happen), Taps exposure and so on...based on the promos there is a surge in viewership...
I know you like Tappu, and you say your mum watches UT, just curious what does she think about her (no probs if you dont want to answer 😊)
