TAM Media Research has released the data from Week 41 to Week 50 for all the genres except 'News Channels'.  In the wake of the phase-wise DAS implementation across India, the release of TAM TV viewing data was deferred for All-India market for a period of nine weeks starting Week 41 (October 7, 2012, Sunday) and ending Week 49 (December 8, 2012). This deferred data was to be released on December 19, 2012 along with data for Week 50 (December 9-15, 2012) but due to reservations of News Channels, the data was released today.

According to data sourced from TAM subscribers for CS 4+, HSM markets, there seem to be a fierce battle for top positions among Hindi General Entertainment Channels.
