They try, but those answers have not usually stayed, though the rectifications have usually happened only after a prolonged TRP-dip unfortunately.
If the audience rejection doesn't change, they have to swallow their grandiose decisions, and change their announced answer even if they have to let go several senior character-actors who were brought in to populate their intended track.
If TRP doesn't rise significantly, the track changes, and supporting-actors find their promised roles getting cut short as a decided angle is jettisoned.
Happened in the previous track as well as in this one.
We'd have to worry only if the leads were comparatively less expensive and/or if the series were low-budget.
Then they could afford mediocre 2+ TRP, and sponsors wouldn't keep requiring modification week after week to get value for their money.
Several serials in the past several years had opted for replacing both the leads and trying to forge ahead. Did not resurrect the series grandly as expected.
Or conversely, some serials opt for a major track-change to require much less budget while maintaining the highly-paid leads. That also is too dicey.
(Here both the leads irreplaceable value is provenly unmistakeable, as the most - sometimes the only - appealing part of the dratted tracks for eight months now.)
Here, it's a series which managed TRP of a consistent 3+ and also a rise of 4+.
And then a slide down from 3+, and so many months of almost perpetual mediocre 2+ TRP.
Unfortunately the consistency of the TRP ranges in the series here (since errors are pushed for months before tracks are rectified) may make it too damn easy for sponsors to know what generally works and what does not, so that tracks contravening against that have even less excuse for knowingly taking a path of uncertain probable gain.
The series continuance won't be at sponsors expense with less than their optimum desired audience segment getting lured in to watch episodes with enough interest to keep checking on ads in between to not miss the next scene.
Whatever gets TRP fast and consistently to 3+ is financially worthwhile, and it'll get pushed for.
No idea how that result is going to come, but the CVs take the longest and most depressing route, so just expecting TRP to remain up and down in the entire extended 2+ range.
