'Chitthi' still popular

THE REPORTED rise of Vijay TV to the status of No. 2 channel has been challenged by Sun TV, with information that in the afternoon slot of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., KTV runs only film songs as fillers. They also quote fresh TAM figures from the period September 15 to 21 to show that their rerun of `Chitthi', which began on September 16 has drawn a substantial number of viewers in the prime time slot of 8 p.m.

This is to the detriment of `Kavyanjali', the number one prime time serial of Vijay. Looks like the channel rivalry is keeping rival networks on their toes, indirectly benefiting viewers and advertisers — with offerings on Southern channels showing more versatility than their North Indian counterparts.

Hot Tips:

-- `The Legend of Bhagat Singh' is to be telecast on Zee TV on October 10. `Humraaz', starring Amisha Patel, Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna, will be telecast on Pctober 17.

-- `Ramayan' is on Cartoon Network this October, while late night science fiction viewing (after 10-30 p.m.) on Hallmark brings thrills and chills to sci-fi aficionados.
