Now we have Sakshi leading over ABN for two consecutive weeks.

That is expected because the consumption of news (except for the top 2 channels) will drop after the elections.
But then, ABN dropped more than Sakshi and so, it has come to this level.
Does this have anything with Radhakrishna being critical of the current Government?
Also, the demand for anti-YSR Congress news will naturally come down after the elections because news against the party in the Opposition is not exciting anymore.
The Channel management probably needs a retrospection.
This is not great news for Sakshi either because the channel is not improving but it is only ABN losing for now.
TV5 is in third position and V6 is in fourth.
In Hyderabad, TV9, V6, TV5, ABN, and NTV are in the first five places. Sakshi is in seventh position. ETV Andhra Pradesh is ahead of Sakshi in Hyderabad.
