The network has planned a marketing blitz across 179 major towns of Karnataka, targeting both regional as well as urban areas in the state. “COLORS Super will expand our offering to both the viewer, by bringing in missing genres into the market, and the advertiser, by increasing ad inventory, thereby plugging in existing gaps in the current market,” he says.

For Colors Super, he envisions a similar growth trajectory, backed by their ideas and viewers demand. “We’ve adapted them for the Karnataka market and brought them to a scale and grandeur that viewers had not seen,” he adds. They have also brought international formats to the market, like Bigg Boss (Big Brother) and Dancing Star (Dancing with the Stars). Explaining their dominance, Kumar says that the four top-rated shows in Kannada, Agnisakshi, Puttagowri Maduve, Lakshmi Baramma, and Akka are all on Colors Kannada. Ravish Kumar, Project Head, regional channels (Colors Super, Colors Kannada and Colors Bangla) says that GEC’s constitute 68 percent of the total Kannada viewership and Colors Kannada enjoys 36 percent of that demographic.
The shows will be across genres like rom-coms, mythology, supernatural, reality, and fantasy amongst others. The new channel, which will start airing on 24th July, will have four hours of original programming per day and will air films on weekends.
