'''TAM Media Research''' is a joint [[venture company]] between [[ACNielsen|AC Nielsen]] and [[Kantar Group|Kantar]] Media Research/[[IMRB]]. It is one of the two [[television]] [[Audience measurement]] analysis [[firm]]s of [[India]] (the other being [[Audience Measurement and Analytics Ltd. (aMap)|aMap]]). Besides measuring television viewership, TAM also monitors [[advertising]] expenditure through its division AdEx India. It exists in the PR Monitoring space through another division – Eikona PR Monitor.

This division measures television Viewership of audiences for the 300-plus TV stations operating in India.

==Monopoly==
The company had enjoyed a [[monopoly]] in the [[audience measurement|television rating]]s market in India till 2015.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/803398.cms TAM monopoly receding]</ref>

==Monopoly Ends==
Broadcast Audience Research Council ([[Broadcast Audience Research Council|BARC India]]) was being propelled as an alternate TV viewership measurement system to the incumbent, TAM Media Research. TAM, a 50:50 joint venture between Nielsen and Kantar Media, was then responsible for the ratings that decide the fate of the `22,000 crore spending on TV advertising. It enjoyed a virtual monopoly, but its job left a lot to be desired.

BARC India was planned and executed as an alternative to TAM Media Research Pvt. Ltd. It was set up as per guidelines of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India.

It is mandated to design, commission, supervise, and own a television audience measurement system for India, and provides Indian broadcast sector with a real-time television rating points (TRP) measurement system.
