  • Republic Media Network emerges in pole position in BARC news ratings

    Republic Media Network emerges in pole position in BARC news ratings

    Republic Media Network claims to establish complete and ultimate news dominance across the English, Hindi and Bangla news genres.

    According to the latest BARC data provided by Republic Media Network, the channel claims to record a smashing performance across India, and across time bands.

    Across Republic TV, Republic Bharat and Republic Bangla, Republic Media Network has witnessed increased viewership. Republic TV is 200 percent greater than the Number 2 channel TIMES NOW.  

    Republic TV’s continued dominance in super primetime was once again established by the whopping 44 per cent viewership share it recorded in the time band. Across India, Republic TV’s viewership was 270 per cent greater than India Today, and 330 per cent greater than CNN News18.

    This all-round performance that has towered over the competition single-handedly shatters the entire conspiracy and propaganda campaigns against Republic TV. 

    Republic Bharat has continued to dominate the Hindi news genre with a splendid and record-breaking performance that has unseated AajTak in primetime. Republic Bharat’s primetime show Poochta Hai Bharat is in pole position as India’s most-watched news show in its slot. As India’s most loved Hindi news channel which has dominated on its coverage of the Ukraine-Russia War and the recently concluded elections, the record viewership ratings released today have once again toppled the legacy Hindi news player. 

    With the scorching and historic entry of Republic Bangla into the Bengal news genre, a new order in Bengali news has been undisputedly established. 

    Republic Media Network’s Editor-in-Chief, Arnab Goswami, said, “The viewership across the Network is historical. These numbers are the ultimate answer to the conspirators who laboriously spent months hatching conspiracy after conspiracy against us. The truth and the viewership are both with the Republic because we have the faith of the people of India, and no one can change that.”

    Specifically commenting on the wide gap between Republic and the competition, Goswami said, “We are 200 per cent bigger than any other channel in the English News Genre. That is unmatched dominance. In Hindi, with Republic Bharat we have become the leading channel much ahead of AajTak in the most critical slots. In Bangla, we have created history by a thundering entry. We have become Number 1, beating ABP Ananda in primetime which was the leading channel there. Today, with pride I can say that Republic is the largest News Network in India. These phenomenal results are a slap in the face of channels who conspired against us.”

    On the overwhelming reaction from the people of India, Goswami said, “We are flooded with calls from Advertisers, Supporters and Viewers who are calling the channel to congratulate us. We are so grateful for their support.”

    “There is a phenomenal spirit and energy in all our newsrooms—Mumbai, Noida and Kolkata. I am so proud of my team who has let their journalism do the talking. I will say though that even though this is a big vindication Brand Republic, the game has just begun,” he added.

    From 8 am on Sunday, the channel will beam LIVE across all cable operators, MSOs, DTH platforms and on digital feeds. The Network also released details of the channel numbers that Republic Bangla will be available on, across platforms. The Network also urged its viewers to contact their service providers and send a whatsapp to 7004698699 should encounter any trouble with regard to viewing the channel.

    Making the announcement, Republic Media Network’s Editor-in-Chief said, “The Republic Bangla launch has been a turnkey project for the entire Republic Media Network with a record 65 day execution span. This launch is a result of the combined will, passion, determination, grit and hard work of the best professionals in the news media industry. I am so proud.”

    “Never before in news media has a channel been possibly launched so swiftly. The launch is a testament to the drive of my colleagues at Republic Media Network. I am proud and humbled that India’s biggest news network will be broadcasting in three languages from tomorrow morning,” Goswami added.

    Republic Bangla has already become one of the largest news organisations in West Bengal having recruited over 300 employees in 60 days. With reporting crews in every district of West Bengal, Republic Bangla will have the widest ground presence and deepest news gathering ability in the Bengali news genre from the day of launch.  

    Republic Bangla has pledged to disrupt the Bengali news genre with breakaway formats, deep investigative stories, breaking news wheels and campaign-style journalism for causes that matter to the people.

    The Network’s Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami will be anchoring ‘Jabab Chay Bangla’ in his signature debate format with innovations and additions – an announcement which has already generated a lot of excitement and anticipation amongst viewers ahead of launch.

    Republic Bangla’s tagline “Kotha hobey chokhe chokh rekhe” has resonated with the people of Bengal and become a chant all over the world. The Tsunami of support has only pushed Republic Media Network further to deliver content and news in a way that has never been done before in the Bengali-news media space.

    With Republic Bangla, the Network embarks on an endeavour to bring in a new era of Bengali journalism that is fearless, unhindered by agendas and uncompromising on the truth.

    Republic Media Network is bound by the principles of seeking accountability of the powerful, reportage for the citizen, putting India first, and being uncompromisingly & unflinchingly nationalistic. This promise to put people first and the quest for the truth will carry forward with Republic Bangla.

    “We are grateful for the trust that has been bestowed upon us both by the people of Bengal as well as our supporters across the world.  Your faith in Republic Bangla has been overwhelming. I, on behalf of my entire team, assure you that this channel is here to disrupt and bring in a new wave of journalism.  Republic Bangla pledges to millions of Bengali viewers across the world that it will put Nation First & News First,” Arnab Goswami said.

     

    Republic Bangla will be Republic Media Network’s third channel in three years, and its foray into the regional broadcast news-media space. Republic TV launched in May 2017 and became the number 1 channel from the very first week. In February 2019, Republic Bharat was launched and soon became the Nation’s number 1 Hindi news channel. In addition to a broadcast channel in  multiple regional channels, Republic Media Network has also annoyed its plan of launching a global media news channel.
