See we can comment all we want on the channel's ways but it doesnt matter to them. Trps or not....something has caused dem to shift a show dts stable on trps. Something is not coming up tp their expectations. So they will do as they please and one can do nothing.
Primetime does start wid 7.30 but 7 pm slot is doing well. Look at the colors show. It has hit 3 point trp at that slot. Its a reminder...shows can do well in dt slot. People might hate the show but they are watching it ....bcz they are intrigued. So the trps r climbing up. Dts a very important aspect....keeping people hooked.MHRW sadly couldnt do it.
It might be predestined like you said. Maybe they do hv a contract. But dont go on actor's words bcz honestly they dont know either when the channel decides to pull the plug on any show. Sai had put a post abt trps.....so at the least there seems to be an issue.
See, I agree with you on that something is not adding up…channel offered MHRV 7pm slot…Sandiip refused it…I feel MHRV might have done well at 7pm slot…to begin with it had all the Trp ingredients…but the producer opted for 6:30 probably coz he did not want to take the Trp pressure and maybe he wanted the show to run for a definite time because they have a story to tell for a said time frame…If the time frame was just few months then the channel & Sandiip could have experimented with the 7pm slot itself. Even if the show didn’t manage the desired Trp, they could have shifted it to a less competitive slot for the remaining months as they did with ANNS…
They opted for dead slot coz they didn’t want to take the Trp pressure and 1.1 is a good number at 6:30 at least for now., that too with Ssk2 as competition with a run time of 45 minutes giving the same numbers…
The only logics I see here is they expect MHRV to clock in the same 1.1 at 5:30 coz they know it has a loyal viewership..MHRV with 1.1 at 5:30 will be a magic number for them…and they also think Vidrohi might bring in the same numbers or a little more, which I highly doubt coz it’s a historical drama…
May be the channel wants to expand their viewership base by increasing the slots…star used to have afternoon band but they stopped it, probably now they want to open up early evening slots, which will not only increase their viewers but also give a push to prime time shows…
