Abstract
This research considers the Bayesian inference & ranking of the domestic News TV channels using method of paired comparisons. Results for analysis are computed in C language and programs’ coding are executed for seven parametric model’s inference. Furthermore, to ensure the appropriateness of the model, the goodness of fit criteria is used as used by Aslam (2002). The model ensures good fit for the news TV channels. The research aims to play a dynamic role in ranking of domestic News TV channels by providing the preferences probabilities which reflects ranking of each of the factors.

Keywords
Paired comparison method; Bayesian Inference (Posterior Means, Posterior Predictive Probabilities and modem goodness of fit) of Bradley-Terry, Non informative prior; Uniform distribution.
