India ratings: Sony TV back at No.2, ZEE TV slides

Sony Entertainment Television Asia returned back to the number two position after being dislodged by Colors last week, according to latest TAM rating figures.

The market leader, Star Plus registered 292 GRPs (last week 304). It lost 12 points from last week. It also was unable to make any headway with its World TV Premiere of ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, which proved a huge success at the box office. The Hrithik Roshan movie garnered just 1.6 TVR.

Sony TV reclaimed the number two position after a week at number three. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ continues to do well for the channel but with a further helping by its two crime shows ‘CID’ and ‘Crime Patrol’. ‘Bade Achche Lagte Hain’ missed out in the Top 5 programme list in the week but was comfortable at number six. Sony TV delivered 257 GRPs (last week 248).

Colors was in third place after losing 37 GRPs. It has recorded 218 GRPs this week (last week 255).

ZEE TV was in fourth and touched an all time low. It could only manage to record 139 GRPs this week (last week 142).

In fifth was SAB TV, which registered 123 GRPs (last week 121).

Imagine TV was in sixth with 64 GRPs this week (last week 66).

The top 5 programmes for Week 42 are ‘Saathiya’ (5.6 TVR), ‘KBC’ (5 TVR), ‘Balika Badhu’ (4.1 TVR), ‘CID’ (3.9 TVR), and ‘Crime Patrol’ (3.8 TVR).
