BARC Ratings Week 3: DD Makes A Special Appearance On The TRP Charts
OmG! What did I just see? DD National in the top 10 channels of last week. Was it for a movie or a TV show? Oh! A cricket match. No wonder. I thought DD National finally managed to strike a chord with the audience by coming up with a blockbuster show that blew everybody’s minds away last week. But nah.…it was the bombastic ODI series between India and England that garnered high TRP’s. Which means that this change in rankings is short-lived.
Rest of the contenders on the TRP charts remain more or less in the same position with Naagin at rank 1 on all the TRP charts. Sab TV’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has once again climbed the ratings charts coming in at rank 3 in urban ratings.
After a minor setback last week, Star Plus has returned to rank 1 in cumulative and urban ratings.
