Ending a show and replacing it with new one is not a one moment decision. The promos for the new show were already so they had already planned to air it on SP and ofcourse they would have thought about a time slot..
Barun's fame was used, thats it. They knew that it wont be easy to end the show just like dat, coz fans wont let that happen... There was an uproar at the time of Geet even when the channel was closing so this time it would undoubtedly turn big. So they knew about Barun's loyal fanbase and they started the rumours of Barun leaving. Then we fans demanded to end show with Sarun. they waited for SPL event, next day announced Barun's exit and then same evening announced show ending. How can you make such an instant decision. Phone calls were being made since weeks, then half a day could do what magic. Its just that now we cant complain of show ending. And the disclaimer in the episode today was just to regain Barun's fans if any of them had turned against him and I'm sure many of them would have totally come back on his side after today's disclaimer.. They will even give the show a happy ending and claim that it was because of fan's demands that we changed the storyline and we really value our viewers... Thats it, game over... So by the end of this week every thing will subside and they can concentrate on their other shows...
