India’s largest TV news network registered a revenue of Rs 337 crore in the first quarter of current financial year, as compared to Rs 266 crore for the same period last fiscal

Network18’s TV news business has registered a solid 26% revenue growth in the first quarter of the current financial year, despite continued weakness in the overall advertising environment. Beating the industry trends, India’s largest TV news network registered a revenue of Rs 337 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal, as compared to Rs 266 crore for the same period last fiscal. The growth is despite a 5% YoY decline in news industry inventory consumption.

News18 was able to drive growth powered by the increase in viewership shares and a strong focus on IP-events-led advertising revenue. Viewership gains in key markets over the last few quarters have enabled the network to push up pricing, helping the revenue growth.

“The network’s revenue during the quarter was up 26% YoY, driven by the strong growth in advertising revenue. Ad revenue growth was underpinned by the strong viewership gains that the network has achieved over the last year which has helped improve pricing of certain channels. Network advertising inventory increased while the genre declined. The network also saw a strong traction in monetisation of IP-led events,” the company said.

TV18 News network continues to strengthen its position, crossing 12% all-India viewership share in the news genre. The network maintains its leadership position in key markets with News18 India, CNN News18, and CNBC TV18 leading the viewership charts in respective genres.

News18 regional channels are number one in five key markets including UP/Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, MP/Chhattisgarh, making the news network the top choice of viewers in the Hindi-speaking markets.

With 20 domestic channels, TV18 is the biggest News network in India with the highest weekly reach and widest presence across Indian languages. The news network reaches 180 million consumers on a weekly basis.

Both its national news channels, News18 India and CNN-News18, continue to be the leaders in their respective markets.

News18 India commands 15.6% viewership share in the Hindi genre as well as the top position in evening primetime. CNN-News18 is the number one English news channel with 33.4% market share in the genre.

CNBCTV18 continues to be the undisputed leader in the English Business News genre with 80%+ overall share and 90%+ viewership share during market hours.

The FDA staff made the conclusion in briefing documents ahead of a meeting on Thursday when a panel of external advisors to the agency will discuss whether to recommend full approval of the RSV shot . The advisors will vote on whether Pfizer's late-stage clinical trial data on the vaccine supports its safety and efficacy. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, but is not required to do so. The agency is slated to make a decision on whether to clear the shot in August before RSV season in the fall. If approved, Pfizer's jab would become the world's first vaccine that protects infants against RSV.  RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But infants and older ad

[ad_1] LONDON: Casemiro scored twice as Manchester United turned on the style to beat 10-man Reading 3-1 and reach the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday as Tottenham forward Son Heung-min ended his recent goal drought. On a day lacking major shocks, there were wins for Premier League strugglers Leeds, Leicester and Southampton but Fulham were held by Championship side Sunderland.

The home side took the lead at Old Trafford in the 54th minute when Anthony produced a defence-splitting pass to find Brazil teammate Casemiro, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner.
