NDTV’s flagship show, The Property Show hits the airwaves exclusively on Radio City
MUMBAI: NDTV and Radio City 91.1FM have partnered to air NDTV’s ‘The Property Show’ exclusively for Radio City listeners. As a part of first-of-its-kind alliance, The Property Show on Radio City launching on September 13, 2014 will be aired weekly and will give listeners the best from the world of Real Estate while they’re on the go.
NDTV’s pedigree in Real Estate Programming gives the show an edge over its competitors in the similar space. Hosted by Manisha Natarajan, The Property Show today has become the platform for leading thinkers and opinion makers. The show decodes the country’s opaque property markets for its audience.
NDTV had taken its property information content online by launching an official website called NDTV Property last year. Continuing the legacy, with the major success achieved in connecting with the consumers and the trade, NDTV has stepped forward to build the ecosystem of The Property Show beyond the homes of consumers with NDTV and Radio City coming together to take this giant leap forward. The initial focus will be on Mumbai and Delhi, two major cities when it comes to Real Estate, and this partnership will bring the very best to consumers.
Announcing the partnership, Vikram Chandra, Group CEO, NDTV, said, “We are delighted that NDTV is the first TV broadcaster to have partnered with radio to put television content on air. The NDTV-Radio City 91.1FM partnership will be bringing another dimension to information about the Real Estate industry, adding to the innovation that NDTV is constantly bringing to its audiences.”
Commenting on the alliance, Mr. Ashit Kukian, President & COO, Radio City 91.1 FM said, “This alliance is an important milestone for both TV & Radio. This association is a testimony of how meaningful content integration can trigger great consumer experience along with ringing in revenues. We are happy to partner with another leader, NDTV ”

News TV viewership jumps 33 per cent as West Asia war draws audiences
BARC Week 8 data shows news share rising to 8 per cent despite T20 World Cup
NEW DELHI: Even as individual television news channel ratings remain under a temporary pause, the genre itself is seeing a clear surge in audience attention.
According to the latest data from Broadcast Audience Research Council India, television news recorded a 33 per cent jump in genre share in Week 8 of 2026, covering February 28 to March 6.
The news genre accounted for 8 per cent of total television viewership during the week, up from 6 per cent the previous week. The spike in attention coincided with escalating geopolitical tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which have kept global headlines firmly fixed on West Asia.
The rise is notable because it came at a time when cricket was dominating television screens. The high-stakes stages of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, including the Super 8 fixtures and semi-finals, were being broadcast during the same period.
Despite the cricket frenzy, viewers appeared to be toggling between sport and global affairs, boosting the overall share of news programming.
The surge in genre share comes even as the government has enforced a one-month pause on publishing ratings for individual news channels. The move followed regulatory scrutiny of the television ratings ecosystem.
While channel-level rankings remain temporarily out of sight, the genre-level data suggests that when global tensions escalate, audiences continue to turn to television news for real-time updates.
