After the T20 World Cup ends, many big reality shows will hit television in the coming six months. Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shilpa Shetty and many other big celebs will return to TV once again. At the same time, many singers including Shreya Ghoshal, Himesh Reshammiya, Anu Malik will also be seen judging different shows.
Let us tell you, after the month of June, 12 reality shows including ‘Bigg Boss’, ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, ‘Indian Idol’ are ready to come on TV. By the way, why do the makers choose the second half of the year to premiere most of the reality shows? According to Hemant Ruparel, who has produced shows like ‘Nach Baliye’, ‘Super Dancer’, ‘India’s Best Dancer’, ‘Superstar Singer’, the biggest reason for this is ‘advertisement’.
Big brands invest in IPL and World Cup: Hemant Ruparel
While talking to Dainik Bhaskar, Hemant says, ‘There is no doubt that reality shows are influential. That is why more and more brands keep an eye on them. This is a genre on which brands spend more. By the way, apart from entertainment, these brands also keep an eye on cricket. In such a situation, when there are big events like IPL (Indian Premier League) or World Cup, then brands invest most of their money in that sector.
If a channel launches a big show during these cricket events, it will have a huge impact on the advertising revenue. Therefore, most channels slot their shows keeping these events in mind.
The decision to slot the show rests with the channel
He further said, ‘By the way, which show will come on which slot is decided by the channel itself. Most channels make plans for the whole year. In this plan, they place different shows in different slots. As a production house owner, we make shows only on their demand.’
