TV producers will actually start thinking of fresh, newer ideas and not be the alsorans. They won't just blindly follow what's already been done and tested in K-soaps but will come up with more innovative plots and storylines to keep the viewers hooked. Maybe, just may be, channels would back new writers, producers and directors; think beyond kitchen politics; have shows that have a finite, start to finish life-line and not subject the hapless couch potato, day after day, week after week, and year after year, to soppy sagas. Homemakers would probably have more time on hand to do more fruitful things than just peel potatoes and watch Smriti Iraani a.k.a Tulsi Virani peel onions and give sermons on 'middle class values' Cons Star TV will have a serious problem at hand. Just imagine, if all K shows come to a halt, most of Star's programming line-up and popularity stakes will be definitely affected. At least 5,000 (the figure may be more) people including actors, directors and technicians and unit hands will be seriously out of work. Suddenly TV will have lots of empty time slots and every TV producer would be scurrying to fill it up. Mass entertainment channels will be in all probability deprived of some masala/OTT programmes. The media, both print and electronic, will have a tough time filling up pages and getting juicy sound-bytes if the spicy stories from Ekta's K-factory stop rolling. Finally, Ekta Kapoor will have loads of time on hand to just take it easy and probably plan on how she would make up for her year-long absence on the idiot box.
