WMG continues its complete digital dominance, and the most powerful brand in the WMG’s media division portfolio – Kurir – has once again confirmed that it is unequalled!
According to the Gemius data, which provides official readership figures for the web portals in Serbia, in September Kurir broke its own record in terms of real users, and on Sunday, 1 October, it was the best in all the segments: real users, time spent, number of visits, and page views, which no other web portal has managed to do as yet!
Kurir Television’s results attest to the fact that this is no mere accident, but a trend with respect to this media brand. For three consecutive days last week, from 26 until 28 September, Kurir Television was the most-viewed cable television channel in Serbia in the ‘all viewers’ category, according to the data from Nielsen – an official viewership ratings agency.

Ever since the Gemius data has been presented using a new interface, it is evident that Kurir is far ahead of its competitors’ web portals. Furthermore, if we take into account the fact that only Kurir can be the best in all the segments, as confirmed by the 1 October Gemius data, it is evident that Kurir is the most powerful media brand in Serbia.
