Press Release

Star Plus continued to be in the top slot

25 August 2013

Channels continue to battle it out. Sony TV managed to regain its No. 4 position this week. Past two weeks, the channel slipped to No.6 and No. 5 slots, but it made a comeback. And now, it's pinning its hopes on the new season of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati, which launches next month.

Meanwhile, Star Plus continued to be in the top slot, but it saw a drop in its GVT (Gross Viewership In Thousands) as did Zee, while Colors witnessed a jump.
