Reacting on the ratings for the inaugural season of WPL, a leading advertiser told BestMediaInfo.com that the tournament has a lot in store if Bengaluru or Karnataka ratings are any indications.
“But they must tweak the format a bit and soften the deal for advertisers. Look at another window for playoffs (not March),” the advertiser said.
Another advertiser who has invested big in the tournament suggested that switching over to a 10-over format would be good for the League and so would be keeping the season a bit short.
“They can't run it like a regular IPL,” the advertiser said.
He also said that the inaugural edition of the Women’s league has managed to get overwhelming support from media houses and the TV fraternity.
