SP says they can't lose the lead they've built so painstakingly over the years. Each channel passes the buck to the other. They'll keep manufacturing such crap and there'll be people to lap it all up.
yaar with the privatization that happened pata nahi, how many years back, privatization of telly world - all channels are in such a cut throat competition to bag the best sponsors and advertisers, it is not an entertainment churning machine anymore, it's just a business for them now 😕
No one is prepared to take the initiative as you say..I don't know where or when will it stop being so..
The TRP system in Pakistan is flawed in the very basic sense too, like it's not an accurate assessment of the country's audience, both rural and urban but at least, in most cases, TRP doesn't affect the story to be changed to such drastic extents like it does in India.
Maybe that's because most dramas, even today, in Pakistan are novel-based so the maximum alteration that they do with the script is mostly to insert some OTT drama and increase the Romance quotient a bit, to make the audience happy and keep them glued.
The script/story doesn't go through any drastic changes
