  • Food content dominates viewership on lifestyle channels

    Food content dominates viewership on lifestyle channels

    MUMBAI:  Living foodz seems to rule the roost among all other lifestyle channels on Indian television. The channel not only has a large female fan following but also a substantial male viewership that craves food content.

    In what seems to be a trend, Indian audiences prefer to watch food shows. Some of the most watched shows include The Great Indian Rasoi (14 Impressions [000s] sum) and The Dream Kitchen (11 Impressions [000s] sum) in week 47 of 2017. Living Foodz leads the charts as four of its shows feature in the lifestyle genre’s top-five programmes.
