Telangana and Andhra Pradesh - What Are The Real Ranks Of TV5 And ABN?
The perception is that TV5 and abn are pro-TDP broadcasters. They are ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, while sakshi, the spokesperson for the ysr Congress, is ranked eighth. TV5 and abn should have higher actual ratings than what they now have. This is due to an unofficial restriction on these channels that the andhra pradesh government had placed in various parts of the state. The true figures need to be substantially higher. The ratings given by sakshi should be accurate for obvious reasons.
Political analysts typically gauge voter sentiment during elections based on the news they read. Concern over Sakshi's deterioration should be expressed by ysr Congress. Despite Sakshi's failure to win over the public, YSRCP-leaning stations tv9 and NTV are leading the pack in supporting the ruling party.
