MOSL: MEDIA-Key vitals of television viewership remain healthy-Increasing TV ownership and nuclear families portend well

​MEDIA: Key vitals of television viewership remain healthy; Increasing TV ownership and nuclear families portend well; high co-viewing ensures Big-4’s moat remains wide

  • We met Mr Partho Dasgupta, CEO of BARC (Broadcast Audience Research Council) India, who gave us a bird's-eye view on the emerging landscape for the television broadcasting industry. Our key takeaways:
  • India has a long-way to go to mature in terms of television viewership. Key vitals for the industry are only getting better.
  • Underpenetrated rural India and increasing share of nuclear families in India's TV households would continue to drive TV viewership growth.
  • "Bottom of the pyramid" is shrinking. Consequently, television sets are rising up the ranks of goods purchased within the consumer durables basket.
  • High co-viewing would ensure that the Big-4's (Zee, Star, Sony and Viacom 18) moat remains wide for a long time. Increasing rural skew bodes well for rural-centric brands such as Dish TV and Videocon d2h.
