on the other hand LBC adapted a slogan "ramadan nawar 3al lbc"

do lbc lack that much of creativity to not being able to launch a new slogan ?

yes I know what are u talking about! I heard it yesterday and I was like are they trying to copy OTV? because it's so clear they said "Ramadan nawar 3al LBC"

Normally the rating is done by special companies specialized in statistics. They used to call people ans ask them for what are their preferred shows, etc.

In lebanon the rating is measured more accurately than that, instead of calling people and depending on their 'memory' and ask them what they watched the day before.

There is one 'official' company whose ratings are considered the 'industry' norms places what is called 'people meter'. It is a small box (like a modem) that is connected to your tv that tracks and memorizes the channels watched every night.

Every night at 3.00 am the home phone rings, the modem is connected to the server and the data is extracted.

voila!

The people meter is placed in 3000+ households where you could know what demographics are watching what: age, gender, religion, income...

The people meter is the most accurate measurement used in europe, USA, lebanon and other places. In most arab countries the people meter is not in use yet. I heard that the people meter is being installed now in KSA; until today the tv ratings in KSA is still done via the 'telephone (one day later) recall'

If you have a friend who works for company X who has the people meter in lebanon, you'll know what is the OTV rating vs other channels.

I would believe that OTV management is subscribed to this people meter service or else they're doing little to track their progress.

The terrestrial LBC channel might have a solid audience database in Lebanon but I can assure you as a Lebanese immigrant to the gulf that OTV is much more widely viewed here than LBC SAT or LBC Europe due to the following reasons:

• LBC SAT and LBC Europe broadcast on Nilesat in a non digital format which makes you feel as if you are watching a clip on youtube, the picture is full of pixels and looks like an 80’s video broadcast.

• OTV offers more genuine Lebanese programming and down to earth, realistic shows of much interest to us while LBC SAT and LBC Europe focus more on Arab viewers

• LBC SAT and LBC Europe both offer a grid similar compatible with the gulf /Arab way of thinking with high censorship (By the way, have you ever watched on LBC SAT the daily show at 5 pm that addresses Saudi affairs ,how lame can that show get????? Or that other female show banat hawwa2 that discusses social issues that have not existed in Lebanon since the 19th century. Wake up LBC !!! you might have more money but the future lies ahead for OTV

OTV RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
