A day after Mumbai police said that it has unearthed a major TRP scam, to manipulate the Television Rating Points, a new twist has been added to the matter. Yesterday in his press conference Mumbai Police commissioner Parambir Singh named three TV channels, including Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV, Fakt Marathi and Box Cinema. He said that people were bribed to watch a particular channel so that the TRPs are manipulated. TRP is what is considered by the advertisers and investors when putting money or investing in a company that runs these channels. To get the advertisements, these TRPs are very important, thus you see there is always the race to declare that the news channels are number 1 in terms of viewership.
