Shock in the television world: Ratings list leaked to social media before reaching channels

The ratings measurement reports, which are sent to television channels at the same time every morning, did not arrive in their usual order this time. According to the report by Birsen Altuntaş, Kantar Media stated that technical reviews of the distribution system were ongoing and that data would not be shared until the “quality control” process was completed. However, following this announcement, the fact that the “top 100 programs” ranking began circulating on social media upset all the balances.

“WHY DID IT REACH US LATE?” REACTION

It was stated that the ratings data was sent to major channels such as Star TV, Show TV, NOW, and Kanal D after 10:40. However, the same table had already spread across the internet before this time. This situation caused great discomfort among the broadcasters. Channel executives brought up the question, “If the data was ready, why was it given to us late?”

THERE IS A COURT ORDER, BUT THE LIST LEAKED

With a court decision taken years ago, the unauthorized sharing of ratings tables and generating commercial profit from them had been prohibited. TİAK had also repeatedly announced that the results were shared only with paid subscribers. Despite this, this morning's leak brought the question, “Who or how did the table reach social media?” back to the agenda.
