Cable TV operators win interim relief as Kerala HC pauses TRP overhaul rule
Mumbai: The Kerala High Court on Friday stayed a key provision of the Centre’s new TV ratings policy that excludes “landing page” viewership from Television Rating Points (TRP), giving interim relief to cable operators who argue the move threatens a crucial source of revenue.
In an order dated May 22, Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas of the Kerala High Court directed the Centre and other respondents not to implement the proviso to Clause 5.4.1 of the TV Ratings Policy, 2026, until further orders. The matter will next be heard on June 19.
