   #RandomQuestion

   In your country/state, or where you live currently, do local networks (TV/cable/radio) engage in “self-validation”?

   Some examples:
   * We are the #1 6 o'clock news program.
   * {Program_here} is the most watched investigative program in July.
   * Our new TV series beat this and that network on the same time slot.

   And so on.

   Here in the #Philippines, I actually do not understand why local TV/cable networks are doing it. We've heard it from them for 20+ years now.

   Psychologically speaking, does it have any effect at all?

   How about in your country/state, or where you are living currently, is it the same?

   If not, what is that one thing that local TV/cable/radio networks are frequently doing that doesn't make any sense for you?

     That sounds like a standard "bandwagon" appeal in advertising. "Everyone else watches this news channel, so you'd better keep watching it or you'll miss out." It's to retain viewers.

     @TerryHancock Ahh! That makes sense!

     It's conditioning the viewers. Like how we see the same colour, for example, and then a week later there's some new product launch with that colour, and we end up buying it.

     Thank you for sharing! I didn't think of it in that way. I thought they just want to tell everyone they're #1.
