EXCERPTS

Cable Onslaught

In 1984, cable television made its foray in India and it was considered a cost effective alternative to watching borrowed cassettes of feature films.

Local entrepreneurs saw in this an opportunity, as investments required to install a cable network were low. In the early 1990's many private channels were launched to tap the nascent cable television in India. Launched in 1992, Zee TV was the driver of the expansion of cable television in India. During 1992-94, there was rapid increase in the number of cable connections in western and Northern India. In southern India, the states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh saw an accelerated growth in Tamil and Telugu channels in the mid 1990s.

During 1996-99, TV advertisement market grew by 76%, but DD's revenue from advertisement registered a negative growth (Refer to Table III).

In 1998-99, DD channels revenues from advertisements were to the tune of Rs 4 bn (25.8% of the market). Zee TV was close at Rs 3.85 bn, Sony at Rs 2.53 bn, and Star Channels at Rs 2 bn. However, in case of private channels revenues from the ads have grown significantly compared to DD. During the period 1996-99, Zee registered growth of 122% in ad revenues, Sony 299% and Star channels 206%. During the same period, DD's ad revenues had gone down by 70.17%. Till 1998-99, 70% of HLL's ad spend went to DD. In 2000-01, because of poor TVR of DD, HLL's share in DD's Ad revenues had gone down to 50%...
