India is in the middle of the lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus. As per reports, broadcasters are staring at a huge drop in the advertising revenues despite people spending more time watching TV at home. Due to the lockdown, the top spending companies have reportedly stalled their planned campaigns and even cancelled them. Barring a few channels, no fresh content is being aired at the moment, and with the IPL getting suspended, advertisers aren’t keen on spending marketing monies. Broadcasters, therefore, feel that the continuing uncertainty in the situations may get more difficult.
