Mandir inauguration: News channels’ ad rates hit ‘historic high’, says report
There is reportedly more demand for ad slots in the special programme covering the Ram temple ceremony.
The advertisement rates on news channels have reportedly surged in the run up to the Ram temple inauguration in Ayodhya, with more demand for ad slots in the special programme coverage of the ceremony.
The rise in ad rate is akin to the surge witnessed during the elections, G-20 or any other such big event, reported Exchange4media, citing officials of news channels. It, however, did not divulge any numbers of percentage of hike.
Zee Media’s chief revenue officer Mona Jain, as quoted in the report, said “there is substantial growth in advertising rates” and an “overwhelming response”. Another channel’s official, who was not named, reportedly said the ad rates are at “historic high”.
These advertisers reportedly include a wide variety of industries, from FMCG to infrastructure and realty.
