Zee Business, a prominent player in the Indian media landscape, has achieved an outstanding milestone by claiming the coveted title of India’s No. 1 Business News Channel.
This prestigious recognition was confirmed by the latest data released by the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) for the 43rd week of 2023 (October 21 to 27).
The data reveals that Zee Business secured an impressive 58.7 percent viewership share in the socioeconomic market (HSM) among audiences aged 22 and above, leaving its closest competitors far behind.
In a striking display of dominance, Zee Business outshone its rivals, with CNBC Awaaz trailing at 39.1 percent, CNBC-TV18 at 1.9 percent, and ET Now at 0.3 percent viewership share.
