Star Plus' rejigged programming pays off

Gaurav Bannerjee, Head, Star Plus explains, “While it is true that the increase in ratings is a result of extendng the weekday strategy to Saturday, I also believe it is because of the stickiness of our content. Our weekday prime time has 11 shows out of which almost 5 to 6 are in the top ten every week. So our content, which we have worked very hard to suit the contemporary Indian woman across geographies, has found a hook with our audience."

The tussle over live cricket scores

Ajit Mohan, Head, New Media, Star India said, “Digital should be an incremental leap in the way people consume sports. But if you look at the current crop of digital sports service companies, it has been a huge regressive step backwards, because essentially you’re trying to describe a match through text commentary."

Saif Ali Khan’s 'Bullett Raja' set for World TV Premiere on Star Gold

Hemal Jhaveri, Channel Head, Star Gold said, “We have always focused on showcasing a mix of all genres to our viewers with entertaining content; and have always received a phenomenal response for our premieres from the viewers. Besides a great star cast, Bullett Raja isone of the few critically acclaimed commercial entertainers of 2013. With this premiere, Star Gold once again reiterates its promise of bringing the latest and biggest Bollywood premieres on TV”
