Industry Scenario

Until the early 90's, the entertainment industry in India was mainly fuelled by film industry. The growing popularity of TV as a communication medium has resulted in the TV media sector undergoing a rapid transformation. Given its popularity, percentage ad spend has also increased proportionately on this medium.

Into a certain level of consolidation in the cable industry, satellite broadcasters depended on advertising revenue. Increasingly, more and more channels are beginning to increase their revenue. With a sudden jump in channels from one to over fifty, the advertising revenue portion has been further fragmented.
