QYOU Media Continues To Smash Viewership Records

QYOU Media (TSXV: QYOU) continues to impress with viewership numbers. The company this morning reported its latest Broadcast Audience Research Council, or BARC, ratings, for its flagship The Q India channel, with the firm registering its highest ever figure – 4.4 gross rating points.

The company continues to show significant growth, with Week 41 of 2020 having reported a score of 1.6, compared to Week 5 of 2021 now reporting a score many multiples of that at 4.4. Weekly impressions have now grown to 25.3 million as the firm continues to take viewership from peers such as Disney and MTV, while its average viewing time now sits at 69 minutes, nearly double that of some of its peers.

Notably, these impressive results when compared to peers is despite having less than 50% the total distribution footprint of other youth-focused channels within India. As a result, on a per household basis the channel posts the strongest results in the country, with distribution expected to continue to grow in 2021.
