The Union Budget coverage has always been one of CNBC-TV18's tent-pole initiatives. As in earlier years, even this year the Union Budget coverage on the channel was marked by a month-long programming line-up. The channel programming included special shows and series, ground events, segments, vignettes, vox pops, polls and contests. Beyond broadcast, channel content was available across new media platforms including Moneycontrol.com, CNBC-TV18's affiliate portal.
The channel also executed a comprehensive marketing plan across platforms. The marketing plan had been bifurcated into a theme campaign revolving around the channel's Budget 2012 theme, 'Bounceback or Breakdown?' which was further supplemented with tactical communication promoting the budget programming. The media plan spanned TV, print, out of home, new and social media along with on-ground activation.
