Tell me why you want to know about viewership stats and its relevance to this thread???
I think that this is a VALID question!! and if you are stating WHY? then you need to do some more research! If say 100 people watch sunnitv on DM DIgitial then why spend so much money creating a new channel for just those 100 people? (as an example!)
I am not even sold to the idea of pouring money on a channel (ie sunniTV on DM) let alone creating a whole new channel spending money there!
Why couldnt us sunni work together ie with Noor TV, QTV, channel on 828 and 838? thats four channels already? If I am a sunni which channel should I watch? too many = division of audiences!
And wouldnt the money be better spent on fixing up the dar-ul-aloom... creating pamphlets asking people to come to the MOSQUE.. start educating your local area.. if that is not in order then there is no or little point educating (or trying to) the world! Think about it.. the 10,000 that you spend on DM could just as easily be used for marketing, NEW classes on darul-aloom, upgrading the dar-ul-aloom.. and so on.. How many classes are being done there? TWO one on thursday and one on friday... and where are all of the people? they are not attending!!
We all know we should be making the mosques ALIVE and starting these channals is NOT making the mosques alive, they are making the mosques dead!
In conclusion: Spend money on
- fixing up dar-ul-aloom
- getting the locals to ATTEND
- more classes (on different subjects)
- trying to make alive the dar-ul-aloom
then afterwards think about opening the channel!
These are my opinions & no offence is intended
