Shattering that “so-called myth” is Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar. Speaking to indiantelevision.com Sircar says that The DD Newsnight on Doordarshan News in English topped all news channels for five weeks at a stretch from week 14 (24 March-30 March) to week 18 (21-27 April) in TAM’s weekly ratings for 2013.
He further adds that this is an all-time record, particularly for English news.
he slaims that DD Samachar in Hindi was first among all news channels (including terrestrial) in that period; it was third amongst all Indian cable and satellite channels.
The ratings relate to the news slots between 8.00 pm to 9.00 pm (when Hindi NewsNight is telecast on DD Samachar) and 9.00 pm to 10.00 pm when English NewsNight is telecast on DD News.
Citing TAM data for the whole universe (cable, satellite and terrestrial), Sircar says that NewsNight in English on DD News raked in 0.95 average TVR in the 9.00 pm to 10.00 pm slot while the Hindi NewsNight on DD Samachar reported 1.14 average TVR in the 8.00 pm to 9.00 pm
