Could it be that Indian news channels realised that their SSR trials had no proof to back allegations? Or did the Modi govt send them an off-the-record message?
BARC issued a statement Sunday saying it is ‘dismayed at misrepresentation of its communication by Republic’, and that it has not commented on the investigation.
Shiva Subramaniyam Sundaram, the CFO of Republic TV, requested the police to not record his statement saying the channel has approached the Supreme Court in the case.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Every journalist is trying to project himself as neutral and independent.
THE FACT IS NONE OF THEM ARE.
IF THEY OWN THE CHENNEL OR PUBLICATION THEY WILL SAFEGUARD THEIR FINANCIAL INTEREST.

Viewers have a choice of watching or ignoring any channel, irrespective of who is dishing out what. In this scenario, why should one bother about Republic or NDTV or any other channel, including myriad YouTube channels.. Similarly, no advertiser is an idiot and depends solely on TRP numbers.

No advertiser may be an idiot, but most certainly you are to write such comment either without reading the column, or without understanding it. Nowhere the author says that the viewers DON’T have a choice of watching or ignoring any channel.

You seem to have problem understanding even simple things that, the net profit alone will not determine the business and longevity of any channel. The court may order the channel CLOSED if it continues it continues its criminal activity to boost its TRP numbers, no matter how much net profit the channel is making.
