BARC Ratings Week 7: Star Plus Conquers Rank 1 In Combined And Urban Rankings
Today we not only see changes in BMC ward leaders but we also see a change in the BARC channel leader as Star Plus dethrones Colors to conquer rank 1 in week 7 in the cumulative and urban rankings. It is a tad surprising as we see only Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hain within the top 5 shows in urban ratings.
Colors shows continue to outperform themselves as Naagin 2 and Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki stand strong in the top 5 ranks in the combined and urban ratings. Sony’s The Kapil Sharma Show came in at rank 2 and 4 in urban and cumulative ratings respectively.
