TV5 thrown back, TV9 limps back

The latest ratings for the week 22nd June to 28th June 2008 shows that NTV has recovered and pushed back TV5. However, TV5 is showing an improvement in its market share. But this is part of the general trend exhibited by all the news channels. TV9 too recovered considerably but not doing well in the towns and rural areas.Let us see the data: ( The figures in brackets indicate previous week's position.)


HYDERABAD CITY :

In Hyderabad city, TV9 got a share of 5.70 ( 2.93 ) percent while ETV2 got 2.6 (2.1) percent, NTV got 1.45 ( 0.91) percent, TV5 got 1.53 ( 1.38 ) percent and Gemini News got 0.18 ( 0.20 ) percnt. This clearly shows that all the channels in general have improved considerably well. At the same time, TV5 is still ahead of NTV in Hyderabad city. TV9 almost doubled its share.


VIJAYAWADA AND VIZAG :

TV9 got a share of 4.03 (3.65 ) percent while ETV got 2.18 (1.7) percent. NTV got 1.99 (1.72) percent, TV5 got 1.38 (1.23) percent and Gemini News got 0.44 (0.41) percent. In this particular segment, the rate of performance of all the channels has increased almost uniformly.


TOWNS ( like vizianagaram, chirala and khammam ) :

TV9 got 2.74 (2.6) percent share while ETV2 got 1.72 (1.38) percent, NTV got 0.85 ( 0.82) percent, TV5 got 0.78 (0.65) percent and Gemini News got 0.49 (0.37) percent. TV5 has to feel sorry for the share since it always boasts of its district news. Seems people rejected these bulletins.There is inconsistency in NTV performance.
