Hi Friends,

In past few days there has been a lot of articles floating in the section regarding Sony being messed up, some are not liking the new revamped Sony's website etc. So we thought of opening a thread wherein members can put their thoughts as to what kind of shows they want to see-drama/reality/fiction, how should the Channel's Programming line be etc. So put up your suggestions/advice for the Channel. This will be emailed to Sony.

Regards,

Virrudh Dev Team

well....i persoanlly think that sony is still doing better coz i dont see more of saas-bahu sagas with always hatching different plots against each other.
however,sony still needs to have little improvement in the selection of shows.the show Virrudh being aired currently is very good serial since it has contained in a great story live with lows and highs of life and now its all set to be wrapped up at a logical note.so i think and i suggest that these kinds of show will be liked by the viewers and personally i would like to have such kinds of serials with short duration.
thanku.

I think SOny is still better than other channels, at least it dares to be different. But it needs to stand by its shows and ensre that they conistently appeal to viewers. AD started off so well but is a bit on shaky ground now.

Personally, I would love it if it went back to the JJKN era....those were indeed the golden days of Sony. I wish they would make a JJKN sequel! 😳

It is nice that Sony is being different. However, at the end of the day it is a business. A business sells a product that is in demand. What is the point making different shows when they are not in demand? This is why Sony shows don't work. They are so unique that they narrow down thier market audience. When the TRP's don't work for a new show then they revert the show's format to twists and turns which doens't appeal to the orignal viewers who started watching the programme. This in turn decreases the TRPs even more.

My suggestion is first of all increase the number of shows from 7 to 11 pm. There are no good shows during 7 - 8 band and from 10.30 to 11.00 pm. Love story needs to go! It isn't for Sony; I think it was made for SAB. Even if the new shows don't click, your viewership on the whole will increase.

My next suggestion would be to have at least 1 saas bahu show and 1 family show. The top channels have these shows. Star has Kyunki and Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. Zee has Dulhan and Betiyaan. So Sony must have these shows, they are in demand, but Sony's version of these shows must be even more appealing then Zee TV and Star's Saas Bahu shows to gain viewserhip.

The show that is replacing Virrudh seems to be going in the correct direction. I was at my Aunt's house when the promo came up. She watches Zee all the time. When the promo came it grabbed her attention straight away, and after the promo she said, "Someone remind me when this show airs."

I hope that is helpful. 😊

Asking for suggestions for Sony is a wonderful idea. i think channels need to get constructive feedback directly from the viewers and ours is really one of the best platforms for it.

But what Sony needs is TRP ratings and unfortunately the members of this forum however large do not constitute that group which generates the TRPS. God knows who are the people that do. masses they say. i have yet to figure it out. serials that i know are popular amongst my circle are normally not the ones that people like.

We don't understand this method of TRPS but that's what matters apparently. there is such a diversity in public taste in India that it is sad that things are based on TRPS. they shud have it for differnet demographics.

and then make judgement calls. that is my personal opinion.
