Similar ratings were there for RY and NL on launch day, but they improved over weeks.
Right now at 6.30pm channel will start gaining Rural audience. But Kendasampige will be tough competitor as of now.. It can reach 2+TVR in 1 or 2 weeks.
It actually boosted Katheyondu Shuruvagide by 0.3 TVR, compared to last 1 month data. Katheyondu Shuruvagide can get boosted even more, if the dialogues are natural and not dramatic dragging typical serial scenes. They have very less scenes with more pages of dialogues.
