Last week also they didn't publish Star Suvarna ratings, this week also they have not published them. This is the 4th or 5th time they are missing Suvarna. Is there any reason, why only happening with Suvarna?
However, Suvarna has not opted out of Barc ratings, as other social media pages are publishing its ratings.

Is Star Suvarna that low in ratings that it can't even beat two Movie channels in Udaya movies and Zee Picchar?

Also Zee Kannada has dropped in ratings massively due to blackout.

 

[somnath chakraborty]

Looks like cable tv blockout backfire

Although not sure rating is after cable problem solved or before cable vs broadcaster problem

Colors Cineplex entered Top 5 in Gujarat / Daman and Diu bcoz of Abu Dhabi T10 League?

FTA GEC / Movie channels dominating in Top 5 channel list in states where DD Free Dish penetration is lot more than Pay TV Platforms or where subscriber base of both these segments / platforms may bw somewhat equal or balances but people opt for more FTA and less of Pay TV Channels. Shemaroo TV, Shemaroo Umang, Dangal , Dangal 2 r marching ahead in Hindi GEC genre while in Hindi Movie genre Goldmines , Goldmines Bollywood r going strong.... As list gets us only access to Top 5 channels and these r usually made up of fronrunners in Hindi GEC or Movie genre in FTA or Pay TV segment as may be the subscriber base ratio in different states hence although Pay TV based Hindi GEC / Movies and even FTA Hindi Movie Channels of leading broadcasters may be doing well but do not get featured in above list.

Also it is clear that Colors is outpacing Star Plus even after Bigg Boss is over in most regions. Sony Sab has also gained audience share in many regions/states. Zee TV continues to underperform while Sony TV is maintaining its lead in urban areas which forms its target audience. Star Bharat and &TV as usual r failing to make any mark across all regions

In FTA space Ishara TV seems to be not getting good response, also rerun channels of leading broadcasters may not be having much advantage as they r unavailable on DD Free Dish. B4U Kadak, Dhamaka Movies B4U, B4U Movies, again may just be having average performance. Colors Cineplex Superhits not managing to match up with Goldmines, also Colors Cineplex Bollywood though may be getting good response but still might be behind FTA Hindi Movie Channels of top 4 big broadcasters and even Goldmines Bollywood. This is my assessment and real figures may wary, just hope BARC starts providing data as before to regular customers or someone who has subscribed to their data gives us accurate ratings for channels available across genres and even state wise / segment wise breakup of the same

Still major blackout days were from 22 nd to 24th February 2023 so these ratings have been partially affected by the dispute . Also by 24th February evening most operators had reinstated the channels so for nearly 5 days out of 7 falling in this period (4 prior and 1 later) people were getting access to all channels on Cable TV Platforms

No, major blackout between 18-Feb to 21-Feb and some cable networks, (which are exit from AIDCF plea) resumes some channels from 22-Feb onwards
