Daily Pakistan has been regularly publishing average weekly new channels ratings of different programs aired at different time slots. We are trying to provide you an insight as to which channel or show is watched more.
The race of rating is real and certain channels and programs go to any extent to catch the highest position in rating. Our ratings are based on data provided by the Pakistan only media rating agency, Kantar Media (Media Logic). They provide ratings of different TV channels and programs based on which show is being watched the most at any given time. Kantar Media collects this information through specialized devices installed on televisions in homes throughout Pakistan. These ratings are a basis for advertising tariff and volume, hence very important for these TV channels.
It is of interest for many that in last two weeks it was PSL taking over all other programs aired in that time which surely is a sign of us being Cricket lovers. We have made a graphical representation of the actual ratings of TV channels and their shows, as reported by the ratings agency. These are easy to understand for everyone and one can easily compare who is leading the race of rating.
