Reality shows are also very expansive to mount as the judges / hosts like salman khan charge massive amounts ...the reality shows basically grab huge eyeballs for the channel but sometimes the revenue just does not match up. BB for example last year got avg trp's of 2.5/2.6 ...
Fiction comparitively is a safer area as costs are under control but then you also have to invest in fiction .in terms of script / story etc ...once the audience is hooked , everything else follows...
Colours needs to strengthen their fiction shows , their weekend shows and various reality shows are all sorted . It is an exact opposite of star plus but seeing the difference in the ratings of star and colours ...its the fiction shows which make the difference.
yes non fiction is expensive , but i think colors went for it in the initial years for this reason that it gets them a lot of visibility , BB have low trps but was spoken about every where twitter ,FB , among BW , which leads to higher subscription and also ad revenue from BB is much greater for the channel
fiction my guess is they will limit the number but work on quality , may get some big names to make the show
like when i decide to choose channel , star is chosen for the daily soap category , colors will be chosen for the reality show , not a second option for fiction shows , that is a unique positioning and attempt to be market leader in their chosen space
i doubt whether they will diverge from this
thats why i feel they will revamp
