    Chrome Data: Week 1 meant business

    MUMBAI: Money isn’t thought to be the biggest cause of worry for no reason. At least it seems so in this case. As the New Year ushered in, it was the news about money and the ups and downs that it saw in the last year that kept the TV viewers glued to their TV sets in the first week of the year.

    Chrome Data: Religious channels lead the chart in week 52

    MUMBAI: It’s ironical to note that in the week when everybody is up for some celebration – partying, enjoying and vacationing – the viewership of religious channels have increased. Is it that the elders at home have got an easy access to the channels they want to watch in the absence of the younger members of the family? Or, is it that people at large want to wash off their sins at the yearend by spending some time in spiritual viewing?

    Whatever the reasons may be, we are saying all this because in the week 52 of Chrome opportunity to see (OTS), the religious channels are leading the chart. The genre gained 1.5 per cent as per the data provided by Chrome Data Analytics & Media. Among all the religious channels, Aastha ruled with 98.3 per cent in the Hindi speaking markets (HSM).

    And not that the viewers just enjoyed the bhajans and spiritual lessons, they were in for some musical retreat as well. The music channels were at the second position in the week 52. The music genre in the HSM gained 0.5 per cent with Sony Mix ahead of other channels with 88.5 per cent OTS.

While Cartoon Network leads in the kids’ genre with 87.3 per cent, Times Now led in the news category with 90.4 per cent OTS.

    The business channels couldn’t grab the viewers attention even after special line-ups featuring the high and low points of the year 2013. The genre in the eight metros saw 1.9 per cent drop with CNBC Awaaz leading the way with 83.8 per cent.

    English movie channels and Hindi news channels in the eight metros and HSM, respectively, saw a dip with former witnessing a drop by 0.6 per cent and latter by 0.4 per cent. Pix was at the top with 88.4 per cent, while Aaj Tak registered 94.6 per cent OTS.

    Chrome Data: Infotainment genre sees a rise

    MUMBAI: While we thought it’s the news stories that the masses are interested in, the fact seems to be something different. While the TV viewers want to munch on news, it seems they also want it to be packaged in a way that’s entertaining and insightful. That’s the reason we assume that the infotainment genre is becoming popular by the day. At least that is what the data in week 51 of Chrome opportunity to see (OTS) reveals.

    For the second consecutive week in a row, the infotainment channels have seen a rise. According to the data provided by Chrome Data Analytics & Media, the genre witnessed a 0.6 per cent rise with Discovery Channel garnering the highest OTS among the players in the segment with 88.2 per cent OTS on a national level.

    While last week we thought it was the demise of Nelson Mandela that pulled viewers to the infotainment channels that were airing special features on this magnificent leader, this time there seems to be no specific reason for the genre to be popular. However, the genre is on a roll even at a time when a lot of interesting things are unfolding in the news space. Possibly, the launch of new and interesting shows and new seasons of popular shows is the reason behind bringing audience’s attention to the genre.

    However, movies still seem to be an enticing genre with English movie channels being the second in the list. The genre witnessed a 0.5 per cent rise in the eight metros as Sony Pix continued to woo its target audience and once again remained on top by getting 89.3 per cent OTS.

    The performance of religious channels also bettered as from being in the bottom four, the genre rose up and came at the third position in the Hindi speaking market (HSM). It rose by 0.2 per cent. Spirituality, it seems, is the way to the viewers’ heart; Aastha with its diverse line-up on spiritual shows topped the chart with 98.1 per cent OTS.

    The charm of the holiday season on kids is also reflective in this week’s data as the kid’s genre has witnessed a 0.1 per cent gain on an all India basis. One of the oldest channels in the genre, Cartoon Network, got 87.7 per cent OTS on an all India basis.

    As for the bottom four, English entertainment genre saw a drop of 5.4 per cent in the eight metros. AXN registered 82.9 per cent OTS while others lagged behind.
