More corporate professionals are opting to watch news-based programs followed by business shows and current affairs on CNBC TV 18, the survey reveals. Awaaz is watched by more than 43% of India's decision makers, ahead of established news channels, second to Aaj Tak, which is run by the TV Today Network and has maintained its position as the No. 1 News Channel from past 6 years.

"The findings from the Decision Makers Study conducted by A C Nielsen corroborate the fact that editorial competence and quality of programming are key to getting the loyalty of audiences that are extremely discerning. It is due CNBC TV18's sustained thrust on cutting edge programming, depth of coverage and innovation in programming formats that we have the continued patronage of decision makers. The fact that Awaaz, which is a much more broad based platform also reflects the changing preferences of upscale Hindi viewers." says an TV18 source.

Corporate Decision Makers across sectors also watched Awaaz, which also confirms the findings of a study conducted by Synovate on Awaaz's viewer profile, whose research brings out the fact that Awaaz delivers many more affluent people per viewership point than any other Hindi news channel and is neck-to-neck with business news on the parameter of delivery of quality audiences.
