New Delhi: Due to TRP manipulation ruckus by several news broadcasters, Parle Products and Bajaj have decided not to broadcast on news channels that are promoting ‘toxic and aggressive content’.
As per the reports, senior category head of Parle, Krishnarao Buddha said that the “company will restrict to advertise on news channels which are toxic or involved in the plausible TRP scam”.“We are exploring possibilities wherein other advertisers can come together and sort of put a restraint on their advertising spends on news channels, so that there is some sort of a clear signal to all the news channels, that they better change their content,” Krishnarao Buddha was quoted as saying.

These channels are not the kinds that the company wants to put money into as it does not favour its target consumer.
