No clarity on the timeline for reinstating the TV news ratings by BARC

NEW DELHI: It has already been three months since the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) announced a 12-week suspension of TRP numbers for TV news channels, in the wake of the alleged TRP scam unearthed by the Mumbai police. However, the council did not release weekly data this Thursday as well.
A BARC India spokesperson told Indiantelevision.com that the tech committee’s internal review is still ongoing and the timeline for reinstating TV news ratings will be intimated to all stakeholders and media “at the appropriate time.”
From sharing confidential BARC data with Goswami to making him lobby a union minister, Partho Dasgupta’s Whatsapp chats with the Republic TV editor made public by the Mumbai police paint a grim picture of collusion between the media and the Modi government.
