Asianet dominates Malayalam TV with 64% prime-time share; Bigg Boss 7 leads the charge
Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: Asianet has once again reaffirmed its dominance as the undisputed leader in Malayalam entertainment, securing an extraordinary 64% share of prime-time viewership in urban markets. With nearly two out of every three urban Malayalis tuning in, Asianet continues to hold a unique and unrivalled connection with audiences across Kerala and the global Malayali diaspora.

At the forefront of this success is the phenomenal performance of Bigg Boss Season 7, which has contributed nearly one-fourth (24%) of Asianet’s recent total viewership, cementing its status as the single-largest prime-time driver in Malayalam television. Compared to the previous season, the current edition has witnessed a 14% increase in weekday audiences and a remarkable 23% surge on weekends. With its engaging mix of drama, emotional storytelling, and a diverse cast, the show has evolved into more than just television—it has become a shared cultural moment sparking conversations across homes, workplaces, and digital platforms.

Complementing this blockbuster non-fiction format is Asianet’s fiction line-up, which continues to resonate deeply with audiences. Popular serials such as Chempaneer Poovu, Patharamattu, Pavithram, and Teacheramma remain household favourites, while newer shows like Mazhathorum Munpe are steadily building loyal viewership. Together, these emotionally charged narratives mirror the aspirations and challenges of Malayali families, making them daily companions in living rooms across the state.

Beyond fiction and reality formats, Asianet has also delivered marquee cultural specials and premieres that bring audiences together. From the nostalgic Maveli Kottaram and the high-energy Star Singer Special Event to the impactful premiere of Thudarum, the channel has consistently created moments that transcend television and become collective experiences for viewers of all ages.

Having begun its journey in 1993, Asianet has been a trusted entertainment companion for over three decades. Today, it not only dominates Kerala’s television landscape but also reaches Malayali audiences across the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. With its ability to stay contemporary while being deeply rooted in cultural values, Asianet continues to set the benchmark in Malayalam entertainment and reaffirm its position as the channel that feels like home for Malayalis everywhere.
