9 February 2012

Channel [v], India’s leading youth entertainment channel, rides over competition yet again to top the youth genre. While MTV and Bindass languish at 33 & 22 GRP’s respectively, Channel [v] lords over at 37 GRP’s this week. This leadership comes on the back of continued dominance of Dil Dostii Dance and Humse Hai Liife, the hugely popular fiction shows on Channel [v]. The duo have the highest per episode ratings as well as yield yet again this week.

     Channel [v] has been No.1in the genre for almost 5 months with an average growth of almost 10% each week. Leaving behind MTV and Bindaas, the average time spent on the channel stands at 35 minutes, almost 20% ahead of competition.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Prem Kamath, Executive VP and GM, Channel [v], says, “Our content has ensured our leadership in the genre over the past quarter. Both Dil Dostii Dance and Humse Hai Liife have done exceptionally well and are consistently the genre’s highest rated properties. Steal Ur Girlfriend continues to get an outstanding response even well past the halfway point of the show, when usually ratings tend to dip. Clearly, the premise of these shows is very potent and their relatability, timeless.”
However you slice the TG, whether CS4+, CS 15-34 or CS 10-14, Channel [v] leads in all these groups. The channel has a healthy reach of 32% and according to the ratings, 9 out of 10 top programs are from Channel [v], including D3 at #1.

Star Plus to attempt reclaiming the weekend prime time with ‘Mad In India'

Star Plus - Marketing and content strategy Head, Nikhil Madhok said, “Comedy was on our mind since a long time. But we didn’t want to come up with anything just for the sake of it. We waited to come up with something that we believe in." Madhok who also wanted to make Sundays entertaining for the viewers, added, “The show was conceptualised after we decided to extend our weekend programming till Saturday. While our fiction shows are more women-oriented, we wanted to make Sundays family oriented.

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.”

Channel V plans more events

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
