Yes Star & colours are the most notorious actually. They solely want TRPs. Bring them that and they will let you run 8 9 yrs like yrkkh don't bring that so even if it's an EK show like KZK 2 they will axe it.
Sony and zee are also the same tbh it's just that they give their shows a little more time.
Star is the most watched channel hence they have enough serials at any point of time in pipeline. Hence they keep the sword handing on all producers
Man, that paper was such an experience. It was before the recent TRP scams came to the limelight, so there was zero available information on how all that works. Really made me work for it, but an insightful experience. Maybe I'll hunt it down and share some of the interesting points here one of these days.
@bold- yeah, that makes sense, it's by far the biggest channel, and this strategy of producing tried and tested regional content for a broader audience seems to be doing very well for them.
