Television news viewership in India 2016-2019
Television news viewership accounted for over 4.3 trillion seconds of airtime across India in 2019. The drastic increase from the previous year was probably due to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, along with the contentious debates on various events of the time, including the scrapping of Article 370, the triple Talaaq or divorce law in the Muslim community, along with rains and floods across the country.
