12 June 2014

The channel strengthens its position further and is now 12 GTVM behind Zee TV in Week 23 of TAM 2014.

Colors, Sony and SAB TV remained at No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.

Star Plus’ gross viewership dropped further to 647 GTVMs but its relative share grew to 27.83% (last week 655 TVM with 27.72% relative share).

Zee TV lost 17 TVM and recorded 383 GTVM in Week 23. The channel had a relative share of 16.47% (last week 400 TVM and 16.93% relative share).

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”
