BARC Ratings Week 44: Colors Tops Channel Rankings As Naagin And Shakti Stand Firm In The Top 5 Shows
BARC Ratings for week 44 is out and we see that our channel leader Colors stays put at rank 1 in the cumulative and Urban rankings. In the combined ratings, we see Naagin- Season 2 continue its lead while Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki dropped at rank 3 as Kumkum Bhagya claimed the second spot. However, in urban ratings Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki jumped to rank 1 while Naagin Season 2 settled at rank 2.
The trend seems to have become predictable as the same shows continue to move up and down the leader board. Despite so many new shows being launched across channels none of them appears in the top 5 shows which means none of them has managed to make a huge impact on the viewers. Let’s wait and watch if next week we see any new entrants in the ranking board.
