Indian
television is considered to be the most diverse in the world of television in
terms of genres. You would find popular Indian channels in genres which might
be non-existent in other countries. You would also find channels belonging to
certain sub genres and cross genres on Indian television. These genres are
quite difficult to categorize. The one genre which has been ruling the market
of Indian television is Hindi general entertainment. The Hindi general
entertainment channels can be considered to be the national entertainment
channels as a huge majority of the population enjoys these channels on a
regular basis. Another characteristic of Indian television is that it is
designed in such a way that the entire family can enjoy it together. The Hindi
general entertainment channels specifically keep this idea in mind while commissioning
programmes.
When
Viacom 18 was launched in India, it introduced its flagship channel Colors in
the Hindi general entertainment segment. This decision was taken because
general entertainment channels have the greatest exposure in the media and it
would definitely help Viacom 18 in gaining publicity. However, Colors faced a
great deal of competition from other general entertainment channels which have
been in the market since almost a decade. Nevertheless, the competition could
not stop Colors from gaining the success it enjoys today. In fact, Colors
became the most popular channel in India within a few years. In this regard, it
is worth mentioning that the secret behind the success of Colors is its
content. The soap operas aired on Colors are rooted in Indian traditions but
are still progressive in their treatment. This is definitely what interests an
average Indian from an urban or a rural area. Besides the drama soaps, Colors
has also managed to gain popularity due to its share of reality shows. The Indian
audience loves reality shows which have masala content and Colors Viacom 18
fulfils this demand perfectly.
A
couple of years back, Viacom 18 decided to enter the mobile entertainment
domain with the launch of Voot. Voot is a mobile application where you
can catch all the programmes across all channels of Viacom 18. The launch of
Voot has also proven the ability of Viacom 18 to diversify into unknown
segments at the right time. Today, Viacom 18 is separately working on Voot and
trying to make it smarter and more intuitive. All these developments have made
it evident that Viacom 18 has come into the market to stay. It is one of the
most loved television networks in India. We hope that Viacom 18 will continue
as the mass entertainer it is today and will not dilute itself in the name of
experimentation.
Colors
Viacom 18 has come up with a regional language channel specially for the
localities so that they do not miss out on their favorite TV shows in their
language. Watch Colors Marathi
for new Tv shows.
