Nice post Galebi & some wonderful replies. I generally don't comment on the rise and fall of TRPs as I always watch it on utube... so I'm neither proud Or guilty in anyway. If I like the content and drama I watch it irrespective of any natural & supernatural pressure. 😈
----Watching the serial in the utube and also in the internet is against the ethics of the media industry as it is like software piracy. There are some free evalutation allowed in both industry but please watch in a paid cable media /internet media going forward.Yes, Channel was sure that TRPs will suffer and are prepared for the outbreaks of mass hysteria. They have sacked many in the past so I'm sure they know abt the viewers and what happens when a popular and loved member is replace (old is gold). I'm surprised to see SNS still in the TRP race.😲 😕
----Again, this risk is not needed for SP/PH. They should have handled the situation more professionally.In any industry, abrupt departure of lead personnel will create scar in the corporate image. Again, Scar can be fixed depending on your user base but in media effect will take days/years to settle.I am also surprised to see they are in TRP race may be next few weeks, we will more better picture.May be we can argue that TRP is not at all important but the industry use as a metrics to push the advertisemnet money. I am sure, both advertisements and also sales department will feel the pain.May be they have milked the cow and hence they may think, it is ok to kill your own brand.Well, I'm reminded of rupee's fortune & misfortune story. In 2007 when the dollar was weak at one point it was Rs35 to a dollar & unfortunately I was on an assignment in India then...omg every tom dick & harry came to my cube to discuss the misfortune of dollar and sympathized at my net worth going down lol. And today we are at Rs. 58 to a dollar.----I do not understand, what is your trying to get to? can you ask you simple question? Every thing went sky high in the recent years. so, i do not see, 57 a dollar is a big deal.But economics isn't a morality play, nor is the rupee's decline a parable that can be used here but I just felt like mentioning that it would be wrong to pin the cause of low TRP only on the replacement. There are many other factors that govern the TRPs. It is indeed a form of cosmic justice according to few but the reality is very different. SP is not ruled by any particular show and precisely actor. 😛
---I disagree on low TRP. TRP is an industry norm, if you are not doing ok, it is SP/PH should correct or they will pay for it. Big corporate have gone bankrupt because of bad decision, arrogant and ego management. If they do not correct it, they will be corrected or they will go out of business.i know, you should n't be people dependent but in reality, we humanbeings appreciate good team, good car, good sportsman , good product etc... so, SP may be big, customer will win. eventually, we are all paying for it. (not you .. may be you are watching in youtube)However, the show is still a good one for me . Even without Gohem "chemistry" 😛. I am still enjoying the wonderfully insane escapism...I'm sure there are few like me who'll let SNS run its full course.---it is your opinion. Best of luck and enjoy your day
