Back in 2017, this is what @PrannoyRoyNDTV wrote about fixed ratings: “Virtually every city in India has a 'ratings consultant' who, for a relatively small fee, will ensure higher ratings for any channel”
“ The method is simple: the consultant gets to know the homes where the people-meters that measure viewership are located. These are meant to be anonymous homes, but the consultant manages to find out addresses”
“He visits the people-meter homes, gives them a brand-new 60-inch plasma TV and says, 'Watch whatever you like on this lovely big TV, but on the TV attached to the people-meter, you must watch this list of channels.”
