The re-launch of the eveninger was preceded by a teaser campaign 'Nach Innu Irukku' across the Sun Network’s TV channels, including Sun TV and K TV, and ‘Dinakaran’ daily, for a week before the re-launch.Įlaborating on the chosen format, Saravanan said, “We wanted the eveninger to be new and different from the other offerings in the market – a colourful tabloid format was found suitable.” Responding to a query, he said that advertisers would not be offered a combined package involving the new dailies of the group and the TV channels. ‘Malai Malar’ and ‘Malai Murasu’ are priced at Rs 3, while ‘Makkal Kural’ (from the publishers of ‘Trinity Mirror’) is priced at Rs 2. The other Tamil evening dailies offer four to eight pages of content. Three editions of another eveninger, ‘Malai Murasu’, are also with the Sun-owned Dinakaran group. ‘Tamil Murasu’ will have to take on the leading Tamil eveninger ‘Malai Malar’, from the Daily Thanthi Group. The combination of the freebie route and the high-frequency promos through its TV channels has worked wonders in the past for Sun Network, catapulting the group’s weekly ‘Kungumam’ to No 4 on the All India NRS scales, and to the leadership slot in Tamil Nadu (NRS 2005). The freebies are expected to continue for ‘some more time’.
