Amitabh
Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati premiered on Indian television on August 28
and in less than a month has changed the fortunes of Sony Entertainment
Television (broadcaster).
The channel has
moved up 2 notches ever since the quiz show aired – it soared from No.4 to 2.
Here’s a lowdown on the steep upswing in ratings after KBC premiered.

Sony Tv Data
It’s evident that between Week 34 and 35 (when KBC premiered), the ratings of Sony soared. What’s more is that the show’s performance only gets better week after week.
Goes without
saying, Kaun Banega Crorepati continued its winning run and was the
most-watched show on TV in Week 37 (September 9-15).
Zee TV’s Kumkum
Bhagya and Khatron Ke Khiladi exchanged positions this time and were at No. 2
and 3 respectively. We wouldn’t be surprised if the latter comes back at the
second place next week since it will include the ratings of the finale.

Amul Sa Re Ga Ma
Pa L’il Champs stood at No.4 while Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah occupied the
5th spot in the said week.

The surprise in
Week 37 was Mahakali – Anth Hi Aarambh Hai. The show, which clinched the 7th position
in Week 36 dropped to No.10. Has the track of the fantasy show plateaued?
