23 May 2012

Satyamev Jayate has continued its momentum into week 2. The show has delivered a reach of 27.8 crore people with the first two episodes. According to TAM data for Week 20, Satyamev Jayate rated a 4.4 TVR in HSM markets (All 4+, HSM) and a national TVR of 3.7 (All 4+, All India). These are simulcast ratings of the original episode aired on Sunday morning 11 AM across nine channels (Star Plus, Star Pravah, Star Jalsha, Star World, Star Utsav, Star Vijay, Asianet, ETV Telegu and Doordarshan).

The combined viewership over the first two weeks crossed 8.2 crore as per the TAM universe (Original + repeat airings). This figure when extrapolated to All India Universe, as per industry conversions, means that the show has reached out to 27.8 crore viewers in India since its launch. This is an indication that the Sunday morning slot has been galvanised as a reach aggregator.

The show has also generated a strong online buzz. The pre-launch campaign on digital reached out to a record 73 per cent of the online audience in India at about 8.2 crore people. It has reached out to 75 per cent of the Twitter audience and has generated a record 16 crore impressions on Twitter since launch. The show has trended over the last three weeks with each topic catching the attention of the online audience. On Facebook the show has reached out to 1.4 crore users and is well on its way to reaching a million fans. This will be a record for any show on Indian television. The show has also had more than 1.1 crore hits on YouTube with a massive 97 per cent like rate. It has received over 2 million votes of support and over 1 crore has been received as donations for the first two episodes.

Sanjay Gupta, COO, Star India,said, “It is very heartening to see the continued solid performance of Satyamev Jayate in its second week. It’s a testimony to the strength of the concept and the way the content has touched people all over the country. The show has generated a historic reach at 27.8 crore Indians over the last two weeks and has generated unprecedented buzz and impact. However beyond the numbers, what is truly historic is the story and narrative of change sparked by the show.”

High hopes for ‘Satyamev Jayate 2’

With a tagline that reads: ‘Jinhe Desh Ki Fikar Hai’, season two promises hard-hitting content like before but the format will be different.

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."
