Mediaedge: CIA had predicted some trends for the Indian Premier League season 2, and as the season completed, the agency undertook a post IPL study as well. The findings here show that consumers feel that they have watched more IPL in season 2, and would continue watching. Elections did not affect 70 per cent of people’s IPL viewing. The ratings have dipped but it is due to more people watching for lesser time. The complete findings are on exchange4media’s Industry Omnibus.

This paper by MRUC presents a case for Household Potential Index (HPI), which takes a leap from the current system of consumer classification - the SEC. The paper argues that Socio Economic Classification (SEC) is often said to be lacking in discriminating the truly potential households and audience. Also, the draw back of using Monthly Household Income (MHI) lies in the difficulty of capturing the correct data, as the respondents are hesitant to disclose the correct MHI. The various assumed variables as a topping to SEC (like durable ownership, frequency of travel by air, intensity of consuming various products and services, recency of purchase etc.) comes with the negative aspect of “judgment” of the individuals concerned. HPI, says MRUC and Hansa Research Group, is a better 'scientific method' to segregate and target the “consuming” class.
