What Media wants other than sensational news to obtain more TRPs? Telugu Media Houses gained maximum benefit they could get by covering the untimely death of Sridevi. Though there is criticism over the baseless theories run by a section of media from February 24th to till the cremation, Viewership for that particular week stood far better than the previous week.
TV9 stood as the biggest gainer with a TRP of 92/56, almost 25 percent more than NTV which holds the second spot with 73/55 rating. V6, TV5 and Sakshi occupied rest of the Top 5 Spots.
