SYNOPSIS OF WINTER PROJECT

Title of research project:Analysis of Entertainment Channels on the basis of TRP

Objective:To know which channel has given hit television serials in last 5 years.

Methodology:Whole Research is based on Secondary data which is collected from many sources from internet. The research is based on which channel has given how many hit serials. Steps for completing this project I followed these steps:1. I started collecting data from http://www.indiantelevision.com/tvr/tamarchyear.php4. 2. After collecting data I started to put in excel. 3. Problem was that data was available on weekly basis so I arranged that data on the basis of 6 months i.e. January-June, July-December. 4. After this I started analyzing data on pivot table.

Page no. 17

Limitation:Data was available in weekly basis and that was the top TVR rating serials in one week.

EXECLUSIVE SUMMARY
The topic of my research is study on Analysis of Channels on the basis of TRP My study will also help us in knowing the channels which are occupying space in the minds of customers on the parameter of likings, over the other competitions in the similar business. We decided to collect secondary data through web resources and various 3rd party institutions which record data of channels TRP or TVR on regular basis. Our first task after deciding this was to prepare a structure of recording data for our study .To do this we first analyzed how to record data of channels TRP or TVR. We went through a lot of options and finally narrowed down to few major parameters Searching for Consumer services Accessibility Infrastructure Food Consumer satisfaction

This questionnaire was given to and filled up by 60 respondents which included students, as well as people at various locations of Restaurants. Then came the job of compiling and tabulating the data .The data was manually fed by us into the Excel sheets. Next came the preparation of the report where we explained in detail all our findings and the conclusion that we reached through this research.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Basically research is a systematic enquiry aimed at providing information that will solve managerial problems. A good design means that good research results can be obtained with minimum utilization of time, money and effort. Thus research design has to be developed very carefully as it forms the foundation for the entire research process that follows. An ideal research design should consider the following factors: Identifying the exact research problems to be studied. The objective of the research The process of obtaining information Availability of adequate and skilled manpower Availability of adequate financial resources for carrying out research.

Business research can be defined as systematic enquiry that gives information to guide businesses in decision making. A. TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN: It is very important to select an appropriate research design before starting the research. There are several research design approaches which can be classified as:

EXPLORATORY STUDIES:
They are carried out to make problems suited to more precise investigation or to frame a working hypothesis from an operational perspective. They help in understanding and assessing critical issues of problems. They can not be used in cases where a definite result is desired. It included techniques like primary data analysis, surveys.

Page no. 20

1. DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES:
Unlike exploratory studies, these come under formal research where the objectives are clearly established. In these, a researcher gathers details about all aspects of a problem situation. They form the basis for analytical, experimental and quasiexperimental studies which help in developing hypothesis.

2. CASUAL STUDIES:
The basic aim of causal studies is to identify the cause and effect relationship between variables. The basic premise of the causal relationship is that when we do a particular thing (cause), it gives rise to another thing(effect).There are three types of relationship that can arise(a) symmetrical (b) asymmetrical (c) reciprocal
B. DATA

COLLECTION:

(a) Primary Sources

At times, secondary data might prove to be inadequate or of no use to the researcher for making further marketing decisions. In such cases, the researcher has to go in for primary data research employing survey research methods. Surveys are normally carried out to obtain primary data. Primary data is the data which is gathered first hand to answer the research question being investigated. In our project the survey was conducted using questionnaire and meeting the respondents in person to get them filled.

Page no. 21

(b)Secondary Sources
A secondary data study is concerned with the analysis of already existing data that is related to the research topic in question. In secondary studies, secondary data is studied in order to analyze the future of a product. Secondary data is based on source, category, medium and database. Secondary data is used by managers as it is cheaper and takes less time to gather, thus saving them a lot of money and time that they would have otherwise spend in gathering primary data. It may provide alternative data methods that can be used for primary research. Also it generates requisite information for better creativity.

(c)

SCALING TECHNIQUES:

Rating:
We have asked the respondents to rate various parameters according to their preference on the scale of ten with 10 representing the most preferred and 1 the least preferred. The respondents had a choice of giving the same rating to more than one parameter.

(D)

DATA COLLECTION:

A properly designed data collection can tap the necessary information from the sources. In framing a collection design the researcher must ensure that the data collected should draw information that will fulfill research objective.

Birth of Television Industry.

In 1992, the Indian government led by P. V. NarasimhaRao started a series of economic reforms including the liberalization of the broadcasting industry, opening it up to cable television. This led to an explosion in the Indian cable TV industry and saw the entry of many foreign players like Rupert Murdoch's Star TV Network, MTV, and others. Following the liberalization of the broadcasting industry, the Hong Kongbased Star TV Network introduced five major television channels into the Indian broadcasting space that had so far been monopolized by the Indian governmentowned Doordarshan: MTV, STAR Plus, Star Movies, BBC, Prime Sports and STAR Chinese Channel. Soon after, India saw the launch of Zee TV, the first privately-owned Indian channel to broadcast over cable followed by Asia Television Network (ATN). A few years later CNN, Discovery Channel,National Geographic Channel made their foray into India. Later, Star TV Network expanded its bouquet with the introduction of STAR World India, STAR Sports, ESPN, Channel V and STAR Gold. As per the TAM Annual Universe Update - 2010, India now has over 134 million households (out of 223 million) with television sets, of which over 103 million have access to Cable TV or Satellite TV, including 20 million households are DTH subscribers. In Urban India, 85% of all households have a TV and over 70% of all households have access to Satellite, Cable or DTH services. TV owning households have been growing at between 8-10%, while growth in Satellite/Cable homes exceeded 15% and DTH subscribers grew 28% over 2009. (However, some analysts place the number of households with television access at closer to 180 million since roughly a third of all rural families may watch television at a neighboring relatives home, and argue that Cable TV households are probably closer to 120 million owing to a certain percentage of informal/unregistered Cable Networks that aren't counted by mainstream surveys). It is also estimated that India now has over 500 TV channels covering all the main languages spoken in the nation. Throughout the 90s, along with a multitude of Hindi-language channels, several regional and English language channels flourished all over India. By 2001, international channels HBO and History Channel started providing service. Starting in 2003, there has been an explosion of news channels in various languages; the most notable among them are NDTV, CNN IBN and AajTak. The most recent channels/networks in the Indian broadcasting industry include UTV Movies, UTV Bindass, Zoom, Colours, 9X and 9XM.

New Competitors:Doordarshan had a modest beginning with the experimental telecast starting in Delhi on 15 September 1959 with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio. The regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio. The television service was extended to Bombay (now Mumbai) andAmritsar in 1972. Up until 1975, only seven Indian cities had a television service and Doordarshan remained the sole provider of television in India. Television services were separated from radio in 1976.Finally, in 1982, Doordarshan as a National Broadcaster came into existence. National telecasts were introduced in 1982. In the same year, colour TV was introduced in the Indian market with the live telecast of the Independence Day speech by then prime minister IndiraGandhion 15 August 1982, followed by the 1982 Asian Games which were held in Delhi. Now more than 90 percent of the Indian population can receive Doordarshan (DD National) programmes through a network of nearly 1,400 terrestrial transmitters. There are about 46 Doordarshan studios producing TV programmes today. Now with liberalization not only industry but media king DD now has competition with new channels and companies.

CHAPTER-4 TVR MEANING

Page no. 36

TVR????
Audience measurement measures how many people are in an audience, usually in relation to radio listenership and television viewership Ratings point is a measure of viewership of a particular television programme. One single television ratings point (TVR) represents 1% of viewers in the surveyed area in a given minute.

ExampleAs of 2004, there are an estimated 109.6 million television households in the United States. Thus, a single national household ratings point represents 1%, or 1,096,000 households for the 2004-05 season. When used for the broadcast of a program, the average rating across the duration of the show is typically given. Ratings points are often used for specific demographics rather than just households. For example a ratings point among the key 18-49 year olds demographic is equivalent to 1% of all 18-49 year olds in the country.

TRP or Television Rating Point: is percentage of the target audience (TA) who say the program or the commercial in a particular time period.
Page no. 37

1 TRP or TVR (Television Rating Point) means 1% of the audience. It is always in percentage. TVR is time weighted. It means TVR of a program would be different in initial 1 minute & initial 6 minutes because it is calculated on minute by minute basis & later average of all the minutes is considered basis specified period.

GRPs or Gross Rating Points: It is summation of TVRs. Suppose TVR of Program A & B is 10 & 20 respectively & we have placed 4 spots in each program. Then GRPs would be: (TVR of Prog A* Number of spots in Prog A) + (TVR of Prog B * Number of spots in Prog B) = (10*4)+(20*4)=40+80=120 GRPs

ALL TIME HIT SERIALS

From above table it is confusing to understand which channel has given how many hit serial in lat 5 years so to understand that we will now analyze hit serial from channels. To declare a serial hit we will use a thumb rule that if serial has achieved top TVR rating at any time or has continued to appear in as one of the highest TVR rating for more than 6 months then we will declare that serial as Hit . On above basis following channels has given these Hit serials in last 5 years:-
