But its harder to run the flagship channel itself well in the competitive hindi market. There is limitations for giving importance to 2nd gecs. In the case of Star when Star bharat was at top positions starplus gone backward and now star plus rise up but star Bharat ratings reduced.Although Zee can make &TV more better than now.
For the time being Star Plus may be ahead of Star Bharat TRP-wise. But in the long run they are equal.
Star treats them with equal respect. A show is equally likely to go to SPL or SBH. Suppose Papa By Chance goes to SPL and Mariam Khan goes to SBH, it will make no difference.
When Star Bharat was launched people thought it would be a gaav ka channel (rural) while Life OK was a shehar ka channel (urban). But we were proved completely wrong.
It is equal to Star Plus in every sense. Similar is the case with Sony. Both SET and Sab are respected equally.
But with Zee, there is a clear perception that &TV is inferior to Zee TV. If a show comes on &TV, it will not last for long, whereas a show on Zee TV lasts for a long time and gains viewership. Even if Zee couldn't make &TV FTA,
it should at least have changed the graphics. But it didn't even do that here. It is clear that however much they change slogans and all, the perception of &TV as Zee's inferior channel will not change.
I agree. &TV is more so Zee TV's trash can. Had they put something like Guddan, Ishq Subhan Allah and Tujhsay Hai Raabta on &TV it would have helped &TV.
Rightly said. Earlier some people would say that Sony Sab's only important show is TMKOC and there is nothing beyond it. But now it is promoting other shows aggressively. Whereas &TV is bothered only about BJGPH. I predict Bitti Businesswali will close before 150 episodes.
