Remaking hit regional shows is an easy way to gain ratings. Actually nowadays everything is all about gaining ratings and not exploring content. Sony is the only channel to think different. Others are just rehashing their old wine in a new bottle.
Like you even i also want youth channels to make a comeback. Technically there should be atleast 2 youth channels as we are in 2022 but unfortunately there's not even one.
Honestly I only see ITV progressing once people our age will become the leads in the industry but till then theres not much we can do so we just gotta wait it out for many years and let the current generation in charge pass.
