DMG started with a bang and got decent TRPs for the channel...it started to gain popularity and because it dint really have any rivals on the channel, they were the no. 1 show for star one! Now the moment MJHT started, DMG's ratings dropped and MJHT became d driver show for the channel and since then DMG HAS NEVER been star one's no.1 show...
now after 2.5 yrs of running and even at a time when AR story was at its peak, it failed to attract TRPs and was getting ratings as low as 0.7 - 0.8 (Check TAM archives if u dun believe me) and the channel was getting frustrated coz nothing seemed to spur the show on...they gave an ultimatum to cinevistaas and they tried to experiment with the new interns...
when the new interns came, even then it could not increase the ratings n MJHT n JPSYA were doing better than DMG so even this flopped...then they thot tht mayb getting one of the older characters back wud help the show and only Jenny stepped in coz they had some issues with KSG. Now Jenny entry did pull the show up but only slightly...then they saw potential in the SR pairing and wanted to try that pairing as well...this was like a final experiment for them coz Star One was really building the pressure...so they tested the SR pairing for 3 months..
Now it wont be correct to say tht their story flopped...yes it did not put DMG in the top slot for star one but it did improve the ratings marginally...but star one was not happy wit tht so they were ready to pull the plug on the show, when KSG was brought back as the last desperate measure!
A couple of points from this whole analysis - DMG was about to shut right before the new interns made d entry coz star one was not happy wit the ratings but the production house asked them for an extension...n tht time SR dint even enter the foray so to say tht their story flopped n thts y DMG was shutting down wud be wrong!
DMG's ratings during kajen times and during jeran times - compare them n u ll hardly see a difference but wat works in jeran's favour is the time frame - shorter time period - u can do the math!
The biggest point perhaps tht even now after KSG's entry, DMG is still not the no.1 show for star one so it really hasnt helped them..yes it has added drama to the whole situation n the viewers are hooked only coz of the love triangle - so CVs wud keep tht in mind...
And yes there is competition or else thr wont be so many Anti SR n Pro AR posts (and vice versa)...if thr was no competition n if majority of the ppl really wanted AR, Cvs wont waste time in uniting them and raising the show's TRPs...if thr was no competition, CVs wont be so confused!
Thr is competition hon, n the sooner u accept it the better it is for you!
PS: all the info tht i have given about star one n cinevistaas, request you all to pls keep them to urself. Thanks 😊
