What's your Take on Change in Timeslots?

Recently we've seen quite a few changes in the timeslots of a lot of serials on most of the channels some minor and some very major.

Minor changes in the sense, Geo keeps reshuffling their programs from 8 to 8:30pm to again 8pm and the soaps like Kaash Main teri Beti Na Hoti hasn't had a fixed timeslot from Day 1.. shifted from 8pm to 9pm and now I think it airs at 7pm😆

Major:

Merey Chara Gar went from airing on Saturdays to Tuesdays (one of the most boring days of the week)..

then came Kuch Pyar Ka Pagal Pan which was shifted from Fridays to Sundays at a late timeslot..

and most recently Kaala Jaadu which was suddenly shifted to fill the void on ARY to Tuesdays from Fridays.. This is the 3rd change in the show's timeslot and only half of the show has aired so far😆 Who knows? How many more times the timeslot will change again till it finishes😆

Even Mora Piya which seems to be doing quite well on Fridays has now been shifted to Wednesdays at 9pm!

Akbari Asghari went from Saturdays to Thursdays only to accomodate the mega super hit, Humsafar.

So much reshuffling has happened some of which that has benefited and some hasnt.. like KPKPP seems to be doing better on Sundays than on Fridays as per the ratings..

My Question is... Does it make a difference to you when ur fave show airs or it doesnt matter..

How fair is it for a channel to keep reshuffling the timeslot of a channel so many times, that the viewer almost forgets that the show is on air or even off air??

Or do time changes happen to only smaller Production Houses that have practically no say in the matter? Had Mora Piya been from AnB productions or Six Sigma or 7th Sky would the time change still have happened?

Or the channels are of the opinion that by putting a strong show like Meray Chara Ger on a weak day like Tuesday will help increase the ratings for that show instead of allowing Humsafar to overshadow it on a Saturday??

Had Humsafar been on a Monday or a Wednesday would it have still been as popular?

Overall in any scenario can a change in timeslot be justified at all?

Ok, guys, now the balls in your court!😆 Awaiting your replies!!😃

I think Serials on Friday and Saturday have high TRP's..

Thats true that they get higher TRPs on weekends..

But Kaala Jaadu was doing pretty well on Friday.. Do you think it'll do better on Tuesdays now?

have never watched kuch pyar

Kaala Jadu is a massive flop and ARY is regretting it as they bought this one for a huge sum of money.

KPKPPBT isnt a hit either. The show started strong but then went down hill...

Mora Piya has everything against it, but I think it is a mistake shuffling itx time as now Maat is ending, and MP had a chance.
Mere Charagar was changed bcz GEO thinks it has potential but couldnt sustain due to Humsafar and Maaye Ni.(right decision, but too late)

as ofr GEO's 8 to 8:20 and back... they first did it to counter Indian Shows but then HUM TV started itx own line up of serials and GEO went back on itx 8PM to gain more viewers.

and now the myth that trps=weekend has been broken.

Kaafir is doing exceptionally well, and before Kaafir, JO CHALAY was a huge hit.

They never put a good serial on tues and wed... if they do i am sure they can get good ratings.
