Ajit Thakur, general manager, Life OK, says, "As a channel, we have always followed a disruptive path. So, in the final week of the IPL, when other GECs were taking it slow, we decided to have high points in most of our shows. This has paid off. Of course, the Now Awards has contributed as well, but it's not solely responsible for the spike with a rating of around 2 TVM."
