Chrome DM Increases Coverage from 3,15,000 Villages to 5,93,615
Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: The below analysis is done basis OTS data sourced from Chrome DM over the last 4 years (2016-2020). As of September 2017, Chrome DM has a team of 650+ field staff, 150+ managerial staff and 450 tele-callers speaking over 22 languages to gather data from 3300+ towns. With a presence in over 5,97,000 villages, Chrome DM also has an unprecedented reach into Rural India

What does OTS Mean

“Opportunity To See” or OTS is the currency used by broadcasters which denotes the number of Households that have access to a particular channel or the number of households where a particular channel is available. The same is reported by Chrome DM on a daily basis across 3300+ towns and 5,97,000 Villages, representing both Urban and Rural India across the Cable and Satellite viewing homes.

OTS is also a measure in advertising media which denotes number of times the viewer is most likely to see the brand (In the below table brands denote TV Channels). This term is used by marketers and analysts to differentiate between total audience in the universe and the percentage of the total audience that has access to see your brand/ channel. The larger the percentage the higher the availability of the channel converting into consumption/ reach.

  • As seen the Republic TV OTS in Urban homes has been higher than Times since 2019 making it the largest available English brand in Urban Homes in India.
  • Republic TV OTS has been higher than Times NOW since 2018. The distribution and availability of the channel has been extremely high in comparison to any other channel in the genre.
  • The gap has widened into “Reach” in 2019 and 2020 as the TRAI implemented the New Tariff Order making sure Republic TV’s free to air offering in English increased its footprint across homes through India.
  • It is very much evident from the chart that the share of news genre got expanded from 2017, post the entry of Republic TV.
  • The channel was launched in 2017 and since then its growth trajectory has always been on the rise. The other channels have also either grown albeit slowly vis-à-vis Republic or remained semi stagnant.

Speaking to Republic World, Pankaj Krishna, Founder and CEO, Chrome DM said “After a point and irrespective of genre, the key differentiator amongst players within the genre boils down to the availability of content. Considering the fact that distribution is still contingent on a 1000+ variables (DPOs/ CNOs) and is one of the biggest cost centres for running a linear TV channel – unless of course it is a hugely appointment-led genre, for instance for Hindi GEC.

Most of the genres – be it News (Hindi/  English/ Regional), Music, Infotainment, the time spent per viewer limits to less than ten minutes a week and is mostly driven by channel surfing or flirting, if I may call it. A differentiator of 15-20% on distribution between any 2-3 players within a genre would probably be the factor deciding the lead in the consumption/viewership / ratings within the genre.

LCN (logical channel number), Placement (where your channel falls), Neighbourhood (the channel that precedes you), the packages that you are on (whether your channel reaches 100% audiences and the penetrations of the packages that your channel is a part of) – all of these factors determine the OTS (Opportunity to See) or the availability of a channel which is the primary key factor in determining the dominance of one over the other.

Adding to this, Vikas Khanchandani – Group CEO Republic Media Network said “Republic Network has focused and delivered the largest reach platforms in its respective genres. The above data sourced from Chrome DM (also readily available across the industry) is yet another data point that reflects on the growth and leadership that our brand enjoys. There are multiple data points like the engagement of Republic TV on social media which is also highest within its genre reflecting the stickiness of our brand and reflective of high TSV that the brand enjoys. We have similar data points for our humongous consumption on OTT as our brand has very wide availability on connected devices and I am more than confident that we will continue to bring the largest English and Hindi news platforms for consumers and advertisers”.
