They left the usual rankers like Zee TV, STAR Plus and Colors with each of them bagging the third, fourth and fifth positions, respectively.

These were the top 5 shows in both Urban and rural categories combined.

These five channels were followed by SONY SAB, Zee Anmol, &TV, Sony Pal and Rishtey as the next five rankers in the list.
