BARC defends ratings system as rivals quit on Republic row
After several English channels pulled out of the Broadcast Audience Research Council, it has defended its measurement system. "BARC India was set up... to measure 'What India Watches', and our measurement system delivers exactly that. We have a transparent policy," it stated. Rival channels pulled out of BARC after Arnab Goswami's Republic TV was ranked most-watched news channel in India.
