And that one match on Sunday, 21 May 2017 at 2000 hours (800 pm) was enough to retain Sony Pictures Network India’s (SPN) Hindi Movies channel Sony Max in BARC’s top 10 channels list across genres for week 21, however at fourth place instead of second place that the channel had in weeks 20 and 14. Sony Max, which aired IPL matches,topped the lists for weeks 15,16, 17,18 and 19 of 2017.  Before IPL10 which commenced in the middle of week 14, Sony Max did not figure in weekly the top 10 channels lists across genres in 2017.All the 10 channels that were present in BARC’s weekly list of top 10 channels across genres in week 20 were also present in week 21, but with shuffled ranks.

  • Cricket, kids programmes drove viewers; fiction & rest suffered during IPL

    Cricket, kids programmes drove viewers; fiction & rest suffered during IPL

    MUMBAI: People? What people? Indians suffer from cricket fever the moment a league starts. Abandoned malls, and streets with only some who were hurrying to reach home. Abandoned were the remote controls as well because ‘there is no question about changing the channel anymore so the TV remote gets lost somewhere without a trace and no one minds.’ Cricket is considered a religion in India and T20 is the latest format of worship.

    The Indian Premiere League is undoubtedly one of the biggest properties in this format whose ninth season started in April and just concluded in May with 60 matches. Due to this curfew, programming themes like movies and fiction have seen a negative growth. Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) took a close look at the series to understand the unifying and divisive factors across series in this format. According to BARC, serials have witnessed a 2.4 per cent decline in its growth, while movies have observed 1.4 per cent decline.

    The only program themes to show growth during IPL are cricket and kids. While cricket’s viewership growth was driven mainly in weekends, growth in viewership of kids content was in weekdays. This was followed by a commensurately high drop in series and fiction. This might be a result of summer holidays wherein the kids’ content might have been eating into TV viewing hours of the primary viewers of fiction series viz. their mothers. News, non-fiction, music, reality and talk shows are the other themes that get affected during IPL.

    As opposed to that cricket had grown significantly more on weekends, which might have resulted in a drop in viewership across all other themes. However, the drop for fiction was reduced on weekends which are in keeping with conventional wisdom of soaps being popular on weekdays.

    With such a crazy fan following, driving viewers to their programmes and channels remain to be a challenge for the broadcasters. It will be interesting to see what innovations broadcasters intend to bring during the next series to attract eye-balls.

    Kapoor & Sons has steady opening, Neerja continues to bring in money in 4th week

    MUMBAI: Kapoor & Sons, which opened to a weak response, maintained steady collections on Saturday despite the India Pakistan T20 match.
