My only worry is that more such chs will launch with old repetitive content. Though i must agree that its excellent news for people in tier 2 , tier 3 and rural areas

For us its re run but for people in tural or small towns these r new shows as earlier during first airing of these shows on Zee tv, Colors or Sony they were unable to view them as pay chs r not affordable for them. As DD Free Dish expanded and such chs hopped on their platform thus the viewership grew.

Remember DD Free Dish has max subscribers and rural ratings comes majorly from chs on DD Free Dish. They don't get Pay chs like we do so for us these r old shows, for them it's new

Quality of old serials was better then nowhere days, doesn't matter these channels are rerun FTA or available in paid DTH, people wants to see quality in the serials and ZEE's old shows was having quality which people used to watch. But those days they were not in the top because of money manipulated ratings.

Ok
Agree
But up to some limits
How a FTA channel can overtake no.1 channel star plus & even Colors, Sony etc. Channels?
I can't believe this

& one more, most of the people in village goes to farms whole day & sleeps around 8 to 9 pm only
Then how this can happen?
Even women too works a lot than working women
