Satyamev Jayate – a Growth Story Doubles its Reach over the last 4 weeks Reaches out to 37.4 crore Indians over the first 4 episodes!

30 May 2012

Mumbai, 30th May 2012:Satyamev Jayate has demonstrated a growth trend in its fourth week post launch. The show has delivered a historic reach of 37.4 crore people over the first 4 episodes aired in India. Cumulative Reach has doubled vs the launch week at 19 crore to the end of 4 week levels at 37.4 crores.  The ratings have grown vs. the past week. As per the TAM data for week 22, Satyamev Jayate ratings grew to 4.8 TVR in HSM markets (All 4+, HSM) and a national TVR of 4.1 (All 4+, All India). These are simulcast ratings of the original episode aired on Sunday morning 11 am across 9 channels (Star Plus, Star Pravah, Star Jalsha, Star World, Star Utsav, Star Vijay, Asianet, ETV Telegu and Doordarshan). The combined viewership over the first 4 weeks crossed 11 crores as per the TAM universe (Original + repeat airings). This when extrapolated to All India Universe, as per industry conversions, means that the show has reached out to 37.4 crore Indians since its launch - that is 1 in every 3 Indians have watched Satyamev Jayate.
 “Satyamev Jayate is generating historic impact. The show itself is one of the very few individual events (media or otherwise) to trend on Twitter every weekend with such high levels of conversation both in India and globally. The show has reached over 50 crore impressions in the online space. Satyamev Jayate crossed a million fans on Facebook, 4 weeks into launch making it the fastest online fan community build up for a show on Indian Television. But perhaps most heartening of all is that every day we hear stories of change inspired by the show - be it a doctor banning sex selection abortions from his own clinic to 64 clinics losing their license, a child breaking his silence on the subject of sexual abuseto the setup of a fast track court. This is the narrative of change and the real impact of the show” says Sanjay Gupta, COO Star India.

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.”
