A Parliamentary panel on Wednesday, saying it put a “big question mark” on the objectivity, accuracy and transparency of the system.
In its 27th report on 'Ethical Standards in Media Coverage', the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology urged the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) to identify a solution for a more transparent and accountable system for measuring television rating points (TRPs).
“The committee is not satisfied with the present system of measuring TRP and would like to draw the attention of the ministry to the recent 52 reported episodes of manipulation of TRPs by some TV channels,” it said.
