We will get a clear picture on this in the next two months. Despite the increased reach and number we were not able to monetise it as many advertisers were not visible during this period. Very few advertisers used this opportunity to advertise.

Keep in mind that many viewers have become accustomed to seeing news channels. Also, once the lockdown ends the virus will not disappear and will remain with us for some time, so people will keep coming back to news channels. This means that my base GRP post the lockdown will be higher than pre-lockdown. This is also dependant on the advertising industry recovering from the Covid shock.

How can news channels be more relevant to advertisers? The whole business of rates is a matter between a news channel and the advertiser. It's very channel specific. More importantly, it will take time for advertisers to come back to the market.

All the issues are inter-related and it will take some more time before the markets stabilize. While you have grown you continue to be a challenger brand. What are your plans to take on the leader?

Keep working, be persistent and be pro-public and people, the rest will happen automatically. That has been my policy and I will continue to do that.

How do you see things panning out in the year ahead, especially in terms of revenues? At the moment, we are all interested in surviving. The focus is on holding the public confidence and trust and ensuring the brand retains its respect. My policy is I will live today so that I can battle tomorrow. We have to wait and see how the economy bounces back and when consumer confidence returns.

What is on your to-do list in the short term? Not to lose the confidence of people and keep working, and to look after my colleagues well.

Sustaining it till today without bowing before anybody in a true journalistic spirit has been my second greatest achievement.
