Quotes about Bigg Boss

“ Bigg Boss is getting us a lot of buzz and is bringing in new audiences. We use that opportunity to peak the story lines on our other shows, so that even the viewers who had dropped off the channel, come right back and stay glued to those shows. Bigg Boss is averaging about 3-3.5 GRPs, which is a lot of growth over last season, when it averaged at 2.5 GRPs. I think a healthy mix of fiction and non-fiction content is working for us. ”
