MUMBAI: One would easily spot Star India taking over four of the top five positions in BARC India's week 37 sports ratings data, doubling its tally as compared to week 36. Last week, Sony had conquered three slots out of the top five list.

This week, Star Sports First has retained the top position whereas Sony Six slipped out of the top five channels' list owing to the conclusion of India-Sri Lanka cricket series. The series had topped the sports programmes' list in BARC's all-India ratings in week 36.

Star Sports First sat pretty at the top position with 182184 Impressions (000s) sum witnessing a hike in rating, from 167947 Impressions (000s) sum last week. Sony Six, which was on the second slot last week, has disappeared from the top five list in week 37. 

Star Sports 1 Hindi jumped to the second position from the fourth slot with a slight increase in the ratings. Sony Ten 1 climbed two slots to reach the third position with 82642 Impressions (000s) sum. 

Star Sports 2 and 1 entered the top five list at the fourth and fifth slot, respectively, with 52951 Impressions (000s) sum and 41291 Impressions (000s) sum which brings the tally to four channels of Star India's sports bouquet in top five list.

If one looks at the top five programmes in BARC week 37, its Pro-Kabaddi League season 5 all the way -- which was telecast on Star Sports First.
