The News Broadcasters and Digital Association has flagged "glitches" and "irregularities" in viewership ratings released by the Broadcast Audience Research Council, Economic Times reported yesterday.
This was raised during a presentation made by the NBDA to BARC last week. The presentation mentioned "concerns about the sanctity of data that revealed a sudden spike in ratings for two channels, TV9 Bharatvarsh and Republic Bharat". It said the growth was "unnaturally high" and both channels "raised rank suddenly".
