KZK doing well for SP, slowly climbing the charts. It has taken quite a jump this week to no. 7.

Sony slips to number 4 ... and now that Indian Idol has finally ended, it will be interesting to see if Kapil brings them back up the ladder like he did before. Colors' Bigg Boss ended this week too ... but doubt that will affect its ratings much, as the season was very lacklustre and never did well on the charts. 

Star Bharat is doing quite well for itself, with Radhekrishn and Nimki Mukhiya keeping it afloat. Colors has just four shows in top 20, and with BB ending, one of those will go out. SP actually has 7 shows in top 20 ... though IB is barely hanging in there even after the leap ... it will be funny if the leap resurrects the show!
