The Year 2000 was a landmark year for the television industry in more ways than one. We at indiantelevision.com thought that the principal players involved in making the year what it was should be acknowledged. By people in the industry, preferably, for who else was better qualified to take a call on that.

The TV Executive of the Year 2000 poll was conceived with that wish in mind. That the industry and those interested in it could make their choice.

We began the poll on 15 December planning to close the polling on 1 January assuming two weeks was a good time frame within which to get in a good vote count.

However, the Christmas and New Year period saw a lot of slack on the polling front and we we decided to extend the process till the 10th to allow more votes in. The countdown was introduced to increase awareness about the poll and it showed spectacular results as far as the response graph was concerned.

Too spectacular as subsequent data analysis proved. There was a concerted attempt to hijack the polling and through careful monitoring we were able to trace the "fixing" source.

Factoring that out of the final tally, it was News Television India CEO Peter Mukerjea who was the winner by a long way.

We at indiantelevision.com congratulate him and we are sure the industry echoes the sentiments.
