I really dont think this is about promotion. For I have seen Reporters being promoted (atleast initially) We did even have two repeats until the last epi of the show. But still the trps were low despite such a powerful cast and intelligent gripping script. The problem is that Sony's reach is very low. The problem is 90% of tv audience reside in villages and they don't want to see intelligent and sensitive concepts. They dont understand corporate politics or a cross-border love story with a niche touch. They are happy seeing dayans and naagins. One of my distant aunts who lives in a less urbanized area in Haryana herself confessed they dont watch Sony at all. So if Sony replays CID/Crime Patrol whole day its so that they can sustain intelligent shows which have low trps. Sony tries to gather revenue for running intelligent shows from mythos and crime shows. And I am glad if they do it until and unless they dont stop showing different shows altogether. There was a point we totally stopped worrying about trps. We were just enjoying our show and so were the makers and actors too. I had never felt so connected to a show before that. The writer used to read our reviews almost daily on his fb page and even used to take the pain of replying to some of us. He even invited some people from the forum to come over the sets and meet the cast and people in Mumbai went as well. It was such a beautiful bond we all had made. Our main aim was to make Reporters a rage online, and that happened. The online popularity gave the show the needed boost and gave sony revenue too through youtube ads.
Thus I think the fans should try to boost pkhjd on twitter/fb/IF. They shud make the forum more active by not sticking to just ATs or CCS and making more posts and thus give the stars a due for their hardwork by providing constant feedback on twitter etc. Thats the best audiences can do.
