All couch potatoes brace yourselves for a black, and blank, period from 10 November. With talks between Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and television producers failing once again, there's every likelihood of your Hindi GECs going ahead with their threat to black out all shows from 10 November. Thus from Monday, you won't get to see your saas bahu soaps nor the reality shows.
One show that won't be affected is Bigg Boss 2. All broadcasters mutually agreed to give leeway to Bigg Boss as the show's format is completely different vis--vis the other reality shows.
The TV industry first came to a standstill when the workers union went on strike on 1 October. Three days later, both parties hammered out a solution. However, in the subsequent weeks, the producers weren't ready to give in to the workers demands so it was back to square one again. Though there was some respite, as it was mutually agreed by all parties to show only two hours of fresh programming every day. However, the broadcasters couldn't afford to have this stop-gap arrangement for long and so they issued an ultimatum to the producers and the workers union to solve their differences by 9 November or else they'd black out all fresh programming.
With no solution till November 8 and with neither party willing to relent, it looks likely that channels will go ahead with their threat.
