Sun TV Network Profit Rises 17%, Declares ₹5 Interim Dividend
Sun TV Network is a company that runs television channels.
Companies like this sometimes share how much money they make, which is called a quarterly result.
This time, the company made more money than before — about 619 crore rupees.
That is 17 percent more than it made during the same time last year.
The company also earned more from its shows and ads, about 1,457 crore rupees.
Sun TV Network decided to pay its shareholders a dividend, which is a small share of profits.
The dividend is 5 rupees for every share someone owns.
Making more profit usually means the company is doing well.

Revenue from operations rose 13% to ₹1,457.88 crore, compared with ₹1,290.28 crore in the year-ago quarter.
The board declared an interim dividend of ₹5.00 per equity share, a 100% dividend on the face value of ₹5.00 per share.
Consolidated earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was ₹15.71, up from ₹13.43 in the corresponding quarter last year.
