  • Paritosh Painter quits Reliance Broadcast Network

    Paritosh Painter quits Reliance Broadcast Network

    MUMBAI: Paritosh Painter, who was brought in as network creative director by Reliance Broadcast for radio channel 92.7 Big FM as well as television channel Big Magic, has quit. 

     

    Painter will now be concentrating on his theatrical productions, film & TV writing.

     

    Painter had created & written Akbar Birbal  for Big Magic, which is one of the channel’s biggest shows. He also helped create a number of shows for Big Magic & Big FM.

     

    “Beside concentrating on his theatre and writing projects, the channel’s gradual shift towards non-fiction from fiction is also a reason behind Painter’s resignation,” said a source close to the development.

     

    Having over 15 years of experience in the field of entertainment, Painter has directed over 23 plays in Hindi and English and has done 2500 shows across the globe. Besides this, he has scripted several Bollywood films like Dhamaal (2007), Paying Guest (2009) and All The Best: Fun Begins (2009). His repertoire also includes stand-up comedy, content development and producing shows on television.

  • DD Freedish to acquire ByDesign’s CAS technology for MPEG4 expansion

    DD Freedish to acquire ByDesign’s CAS technology for MPEG4 expansion

    NEW DELHI: Doordarshan’s free-to-air (FTA) direct to home (DTH) service Freedish is planning to acquire Bangalore based ByDesign India’s conditional access system (CAS) so as to increase its channel offerings to 112 from the current 64 by the end of March 2016.

     

    In conversation with Indiantelevision.com, DD Director General C Lalrosanga said that the DTH player will switch over to MPEG 4 from the current MPEG 2 in two phases. “The first phase may begin by early next month,” he informed.

     

    Late last year, the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) approved a proposal by ByDesign India to develop an Indian conditional access system. ByDesign was to receive a support amount of Rs 19.79 crore from DeitY to develop the new system in association with Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC).

     

    The ByDesign model is totally indigenous and built for DVB-C setup. This CAS solution will enable broadcasters to control access to their services by viewers, and thereby enabling them to extend their business models to subscription based schemes.

     

    This will mean that the Freedish will become encrypted but will remain FTA. In addition to helping increase the number of channels on the platform, this will enable Freedish to gauge the exact number of households relying on Freedish as encrypted set top boxes (STBs) will only be available with authorised dealers.

     

    Lalrosanga said that collection of rural data by the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India had shown that the claims made by Doordarshan about its reach were not erroneous. He said the BARC ratings had shown that both DD and Freedish had a tremendous reach in semi-urban and rural areas all over the country.

     

    Lalrosanga went on to add that many homes were gradually switching over to Freedish as they could then get their entire entertainment for a one-time fee of purchasing a dish, which cost as low as Rs 700 to Rs 1200.

     

    Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar had said earlier this year that Freedish’s aim was to reach 112 channels within a year or so.

     

    At present, there is no vacant slot on Freedish since all channels that were on the platform and whose licences had expired have come back through the 24 e-auctions conducted over the past year.

     

    Interestingly, the two new entrants on the platform – Aaj Tak and Big Magic – are pay channels, which are being run as FTA on Freedish. DD sources said that the reference interconnect agreement signed by these two channels no longer carries any non-discriminatory clause as it refers to Freedish.

     

    Lalrosanga also added that DD was working towards bringing regional language films to the prime time slots over the weekend. Additionally, the pubcaster was actively thinking on the lines of a dedicated channel for children and young people. 

  • One week in DD Freedish takes Big Magic Ganga to number two from five

    One week in DD Freedish takes Big Magic Ganga to number two from five

    MUMBAI: Television audience ratings measurement body Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India after the roll-out of its rural data has changed the entire dynamics of television viewership. BARC India’s rural roll-out resonated Bob Dylan’s famous lines in every ear as an alarm. Don’t speak too soon, for the wheel’s still in spin. And there’s no tellin’ who That it’s namin’. For the loser now Will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin. The rural data certainly gave all the followers wings of fire which got them right over the leaders who probably never thought of trailing.

     

    But once that has happened, it was time for the erstwhile leaders to act and act fast before too much damage was done. Big Magic Ganga, the Bhojpuri channel from Anil Dhirubhai Ambani’s broadcast conglomerate Reliance Broadcast Network Limited (RBNL) had been leading the urban tally with over 45 per cent of the viewership share since BARC’s inception. Week 41 ratings of BARC India which had the rural data included in it saw the channel sliding down to the fifth position with a humongous difference when compared to the leaders.

     

    The top brass then got together to work out a strategy and the permutations and combinations lead them to the best friend of rural India – DD Freedish. DD Freedish is Doordarshan’s direct-to-home innovation which enables one to watch content for free. There is only a one time charge that one needs to bear and after that it’s free for life.

     

    “In the urban market we were undisputed number one. But after BARC started to roll out its rural data we lost our position. 85 per cent of the total viewers in Bihar and Jharkhand are DD Freedish subscribers, hence we decided to have a presence on the platform” says RBNL COO Ashwin Padmanabhan  

     

    The decision did not take much time turn the tables, as with a rating of 38455 (000s Sum) the channel leapfrogged to second position, below Bhojpuri Cinema which garnered 41361 (000s Sum) in week 45. “We are happy to see the surge and it has been just a week. The others on the list were there on DD Freedish since a very long time” explains Padmanabhan.

     

    Big Magic Ganga has 5 to 6 hours of original content curated keeping the local sentiments in mind. The programming is also a strong weapon for the channel says Padmanabhan. Elucidating further he says, “From the beginning we have believed that content is what drives the channel to success. We invested on setting up a local team which works extensively to create relevant content. Recently we did a special programme on Chatt and it emerged as one of the top 5 shows in the genre. We will continue to explore and create original content which the viewers will cherish.”

     

    Phase III of digitisation has a deadline of 31 December. Padmanabhan feels that the mandatory shifting to DAS might see a huge number of consumers shifting to DD Freedish. “Buying a set-top box itself is an expensive proposition and after that the cost per house will also go up. Why will people pay more while they can watch content for free on DD Freedish. Having said so, digitization will help us grow the subscription revenue so it’s good for broadcasters” says Padmanabhan.

     

    There is no subscription revenue that comes out of DD Freedish, since it is a free platform. In markets like Bihar and Jharkhand a channel like Big Magic Ganga does not rely on subscription revenue at this stage informs Padmanabhan. The COO says, “Advertisement is directly proportional to viewership and quality of content. Our advertisers are happy to associate with us as they know the content we create is relevant to viewers and hence it provides them the platform to garner eyeballs.”

     

    FMCG leads the tally while is comes to category of advertisers closely followed by automobile companies. Two wheelers and affordable cars are seen frequently during breaks. Local advertisers which want to target that particular audience are also seen frequently between breaks.

     

     

    A media planner on condition of anonymity says, “The ad rates for a 10 second slot in a channel like Big Magic Ganga used to be close to Rs 1000. But after the rural roll-out now it would be somewhere between Rs 2000-3000. Post January we might see a further inclination to the ad rates depending on how the broadcasters plan out their strategy.”

     

    Creating content is not enough to reach out to a huge number. Every initiative needs to be backed by aggressive marketing says Padmanabhan. He further adds, “We believe in marketing each and every product independently. If a particular product needs an aggressive on-ground push, we opt for on-ground marketing initiatives. Depending on the product, we curate our marketing strategy. Radio, print, outdoor, cross network promotions are the mediums that we normally use.”

     

    The COO wants to see the channel an undisputed leader not only in terms of viewership but also content and revenue. “170 – 180 GRP is what I am eying at in terms of viewership while a 200 to 300 per cent surge in the ad rates is my target in terms of ad-revenue growth. I am confident that by January once the new rating phenomenon settles down we will meet the target” Padmanabhan concludes.

  • Big Magic targets young adults with two new shows

    Big Magic targets young adults with two new shows

    MUMBAI: With an aim to provide humour and unpredictable content that appeals to the urban audience, Big Magic is coming up with two new male centric shows targeting young adults within the age group of 15 – 30. The first show is called Boyz, which recently went on air, whereas the other show  Pyar Marriage Shhhh (PMS) will begin airing from 7 September.

     

    Reliance Broadcast Network COO Ashwin Padmanabhan said, “We have successfully created a position of our channel in the comedy space. Our new programming content is based in an urban kind of setting.”

     

    What’s more, Big Magic is also planning to launch another three to four shows and short formats in the coming months. “We are working on a talk show format, which is likely to launch in the next three months. We are also getting multiple short formats like Chutki and Shopkeeper, which has become very big already. We have introduced another short format called Mania Ki Dunia. The short-format YouTube content, which already has 20 million views, will also be put on radio, television and online. As we started building comedy as a genre, our effort is to create relevance of this genre across multiple platforms,” he added.

     

    Elaborating the story of new shows, Padmanabhan said, “The theme of Boyz is about three college friends and their crazy experiences of coming out of their comfort zone and discovering life. So it’s a typical college story but like every other boy, they carry the fantasy of not just the perfect job but also the girl of their dreams. Each character is sketched extremely sharply and differently. The show will fill in the gap of urban TV viewing male audience with an edginess that has hitherto been unavailable on television.”

     

    The theme of Boyz captures the target audience who are in a similar phase and hence the youth can relate to it. “This high octane comedy is another innovation in Big Magic’s attempt at strengthening its new positioning in providing edgy and contemporary content,” Padmanabhan added.

     

    Speaking about Pyar Marriage Sshh, Padmanabhan said, “The show has a very interesting plot about three friends and revolves around the crazy things that happens to them. These guys are neighbours who come together and become friends. Every episode shows something new happening in their life.”

     

    Being the only channel that focuses solely on the comedy genre, Big Magic has a clear cut vision to make young India laugh out loud and the programming strategy is based around the same philosophy.

     

    The channel will now also venture into the episodic format. Speaking on the same, Padmanabhan informed, “The story starts and ends with the episodes. It’s just like F.R.I.E.N.D.S wherein every episode is new and different in its own way. A story will not carry forward into the next episode. It’s the kind of content that works with the current generation.”

     

    Following the international format, Boyz will have multiple seasons and each season will have a run period of six months. Following the format, Big Magic has already re-launched Hazir Jawab Birbal, which was earlier named as Akbar Birbal.

     

    Addressing the need gap for male centric entertainment shows, Big Magic took the humour approach to attract its TG. Padmanabhan added, “There’s not much good content available for men on television and that’s why men tend to consume more news or sports. Humour has a wide appeal so, if we present a story from a man’s perspective, the kind of humour gets integrated across the audience.”

     

    Big Magic will be promoting the shows across platform. “Digital is a very key component of marketing strategy. Apart from that, we are also using television channels that are targeting young adults like MTV and Bindass as well as news channels. Along with promotions, we are also doing a whole lot of integration. Funny portions of the content is cut and tweaked for radio. RJs from our networks as well as partner networks are supporting this campaign. In radio, apart from the in-house Big FM, we have also roped in Fever 104 and Red FM as partners,” he informed.

     

    The marketing initiative will cut across major cities like Ahmedabad, Pune, Chandigarh, Delhi, Mumbai, Kanpur, Lucknow, Baroda and Surat.

     

    The campaign has been developed by Grey Worldwide, whereas MEC is the media buying agency. The digital campaigns are being handled by Resultrix Media.

     

    Throwing light on the research that was done before launching the shows, Padmanabhan said, “From the show perspective, we do a pilot testing, which has been done across some centres in Mumbai, Delhi and other metro cities. On the basis of that, we received good feedback. We are not only testing the shows but are also testing the promos online.”

     

    There was a pre-launch campaign rolled out for Boyz where people were asked to give their feedback on the promos that were uploaded on YouTube.
