New Delhi: The News Broadcasters Association (NBA) on Monday (January 18, 2021) said that it is shocked to see hundreds of WhatsApp messages that have been exchanged between BARC India’s former CEO Partho Dasgupta and Arnab Goswami. "These messages clearly establish collusion between the two in manipulating ratings to garner greater viewership numbers for Republic TV month after month by fraudulently manually reducing ratings of other channels to give Republic TV an unfair advantage," said NBA. It added, "These WhatsApp messages not only reflect manipulation of ratings but is also about power play. The messages exchanged go on to refer to the appointment of Secretaries, Cabinet reshuffle, access to the PMO and the workings of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting." The official press release said that this only confirms the many and continuous allegations made by NBA in the last 4 years that ratings were being manipulated by a non-NBA member broadcaster in connivance with BARC’s top management officials. The NBA demanded that IBF membership of Republic TV should be suspended with immediate effect till the case related to manipulation of ratings is pending in the court.
