This comes after the Mumbai Police last week claimed to have busted a TRP manipulation racket involving Republic TV and two Marathi channels. The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) on Thursday said it has temporarily suspended weekly ratings for news channels. “Starting with the ‘News Genre’, BARC will cease publishing the weekly individual ratings for all news channels during the exercise. BARC will continue to release weekly audience estimates for the genre of news by state and language. The Supreme Court Thursday asked the Republic Media Group to approach the Bombay High Court in the TRP scam case registered by the Mumbai Police.
