About CNS

CNS (@cns) is an India-based channel run by the Citizen News Service team. It publishes short, handheld food clips from Indian cities such as Lucknow and Chennai, plus Bangkok street food, usually under 30 seconds. The same channel carries longer development-justice content: CNS SHE & Rights and #EndTB dialogues on health, gender and development. The description lists these series, with some episodes in Hindi.

The channel has about 2,260 subscribers and 1.15 million lifetime views. Its median video gets 167 views, and the mean is 247, so reach is small. Viewers are likely to be Indian food enthusiasts and some followers of the health and gender content. These are estimates from the channel data, not measured figures.

Brand deals here are priced at $4 to $8 per 1,000 median views because most uploads are Shorts, which works out to about $150 to $250 per video. That is roughly $4 to $8 CPM, compared with $10 to $30 CPM for paid ads. Brands seeking low-cost food visibility in India should book this channel.
