Overview

Indiantelevision.com's Telewise brand is an initiative to further propel the power of television in India's regional markets. The first leg of series takes us to Tamil Nadu, which is widely regarded as the country's first success story from a regional language market standpoint. With over 35 channels offering Rs 11.6 crore seconds of advertisement annually, the Tamil TV boasts of Rs 2,000 crore-plus potential. For perspective, that is nearly 10 percent of India's total TV ad spend coming from just one state. Telewise Tamil is an opportunity for industry stakeholders to understand, analyse and find potential solutions to issues faced by broadcasters and advertisers in the state. While Tamil Nadu boasts of a vibrant TV ecosystem, industry watchers are convinced there is scope to push the envelope on content, advertising and distribution fronts.

While they are now tweaking their advertising and increasing spends in this market, the scope for synergy is immense.

In order to up the ante in terms of content delivery and viewing, cinematic experience needs to be brought to television.

Retail and hyper local advertising is expected to gain more steam in the next five years. Will local brands divert majority of their spends to TV or will they move away from using single media to multimedia strategy?
