About Webinar

We are living in tough times with the economy slowly kickstarting while the specter of selective lockdowns continually staring us in our face, reducing our confidence to go full steam ahead with our business decisions. Nonetheless, despite the calamitous Covid2019 situation, TV channels and producers have steeled themselves and are rolling out fresh programming on Hindi GECs from today. Other southern states have already done so since the past 20 days. The good news is that inventory fill rates have gone up. What needs improvement is the pricing of the purchase by media buyers from agencies. Almost every TV channel vertical - news channels included - are also in a similar position on the rate front. In today's exclusive Virtual Fireside Chat with Soumak Banik we uncover TV Buying: Agreeing to a new normal  and more.
