If Something is going on with these new channels with exclusive shows like reality shows, serials and blockbuster movies then sure people will migrate to other DTH or other local cable operator who offers these channels. As you know how PT has popularity even with the miss of sundirect and chennai city. For example one of your friend watches this channel and tells you that the programme in vendhar tv is excellent and asks you did you watch it??? then you also will feel to watch this channel and you will find who gives this channel and subscribe to them. So, Dont worry friend after diwali the game changes for sun.

Are u really serious... It looks very funny to hear it.
Vendhar TV is trying to launch their channel for almost 1.5 yrs now. Pls don't blame Sun/SCV also for this. They are not in control of govt now.
Even if it launches, it will be one additional channel like Zee Tamil,Vijay and Polimer who gives competition but can't take over No.1 position
You can't ask lakhs of households to shift watching the serial from Sun TV to some new channel overnight.
I see many Sun/SCV haters here. Agreed tat they do the business in amonopoly way and a healthier competition is always welcome.
But you can't deny the fact that Sun has come to this poistion not only by these ways. They have the technology and the standard with them. Can you compare Vijay TV's AQ/PQ with Sun's. Why Vijay is not able to bring up the quality though it is under STAR grp.
And regarding News channels GRP rating and its comments:
I have been following it up for last 6 months and there is no No.1 in this genre in TN as of now.
Every week No. 1 changes and as of last week, its Jaya Plus which is in No.1. Above website didn't capture it.
When PT was introduced, it was given as if they were neutrals. But if u see their news now, even they are having a set of policies in showing up a news. Also, PT was No 1 for some time but now with many news channels, competition is very high and now J Plus, Sun News, Seithigal and PT all r performing well in News Genre.
There's only genre where we can see some competition along with Children Genre for Chutti TV along with Nick Tamil etc. Other than these 2 - GEC, Music, Movies, Comedy - All the 4 are ruled by Sun and will be ruled by Sun atleast for next 3-4 yrs.
Now we see movies going to All the channels equally. Sun.Vijay.Kalaignar,Zee Tamil buy more movies. So it is becomin somewat healthier in these way. But Mon - Friday Serials are the biggest TRP gainers where we don't see any drastic competition coming.
