Last month, Star Bharat’s Gaurav Banerjee took over the reins of Sony Network. Now it seems that Gaurav’s first project is to get big numbers for the channel. A source has given exclusive information about this to India Today/Aaj Tak. The source says that this channel is ready for a big change by the end of this year. The creative team of the channel is working together to bring fresh content for the audience. Everyone’s intention is clear that they have to create a different audience for Sony TV together.
All the fiction shows currently running on the channel are being shut down. The production of serials ‘Kaavya: Ek Jazbaa’, ‘Ek Junoon’, ‘Pukar Dil Se Dil Tak’ and ‘Jubilee Talkies’ has been stopped. All these serials will complete work on their remaining episodes. Sources say that now these will run on TV only for a few weeks.
Zakir Khan’s show is closing down
Another shocking thing for the fans is that comedian Zakir Khan’s show ‘Aapka Apna Zakir’ has been closed. This show was launched on TV in August with a lot of buzz. But it failed to connect with the public. The source said about this, ‘Recently Zakir was unwell, so the team decided to take a break. However, the shooting never started again, and the team was also informed about the closure of the show. It was always known that one day this show has to end, but no one had thought that its journey would end in just a month.’
CID will be back
If you are thinking that all the shows on Sony TV are being shut down, then what will the viewers get to watch? The answer to this is the channel’s classic shows ‘CID’ and ‘Crime Patrol’. Along with this, the religious show ‘Mere Sai’ has also made a comeback. The source said about this, ‘Re-runs of old serials are getting more numbers than new original shows. This proves that the channel’s decision is working. Crime Patrol and Mere Sai have already returned to TV, soon CID will also start coming on TV again. Along with this, efforts are also being made to restart the production of this public’s favorite detective show.’
For now, the new seasons of ‘India’s Best Dance’, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ and ‘India Idol’ will continue to entertain the audience. According to the source, ‘KBC’ and ‘India’s Best Dance’ are getting decent numbers. The team is taking advantage of this. Only time will tell how successful the re-design of the channel will prove to be.
