He stated, “I agree that the 0.2 number must be worrying the channel. But even they know that the concept (Continuation of Jai Hind TV on the web) is a very strong property and it is also not that they had nothing else to air on the 11 pm slot, so they brought in our show and will yank if off in a couple of weeks, if it does not rate decent”.
On being asked as to what makes the web version of it a hit, Sumeet reasoned, “There could be a number of reasons, firstly we have zero publicity and secondly given the strict censorship norms of TV, we really can’t be as bold as on the web i.e. having a boldly dressed Savita Bhabi segment (spoof on well known porn comic character) would be unthinkable on TV even at the late night slot.”
Further, Sumeet even blamed the poor rating on audiences’ take on late night shows. He opined, “This slot is always given a step motherly treatment for rival channels frequently air all kinds of awards on the same day slot which does hurts our case”.
You surely have a point Sumeet and we hope your advice is paid heed to!
