Race for Ratings: Pakistan Super League trumps all News Media Giants

 

Daily Pakistan has started publishing average weekly new channels ratings of different programs aired at different time slots. Daily Pakistan is providing you an insight as to which channel or show is watched more. This week we have also taken Geo Super and PTV Sports for comparison as there was PSL going on and almost everyone was tilted towards this popular sport. The results were astonishing. PSL left behind all news media channels and their popular shows.

Our ratings are based on data provided by the Pakistan only media rating agency, Kantar Media (Media Logic). They provides ratings of different TV channels and programs based on which show is being watched the most at any given time. Kantar Media collects this information through specialized devices installed on televisions in homes throughout Pakistan. These ratings are a basis for advertising tariff and volume, hence very important for these TV channels.

This is third week to this rating chart presentation. We have made a graphical representation of the actual ratings of TV channels and their shows, as reported by the ratings agency. These are easy to understand for everyone and one can easily compare who is leading the race of rating with a huge margin.

The graphs below show ratings of different TV channels at different times of the day. These graphs show the average rating of each show in the given time slot. Ratings for weekdays and weekends are shown separately.

* Ratings provided from 8th  to 14th February, 2016. Daily Pakistan will keep on providing similar TV channels ratings for every week, so stay tuned.
