Customer feedback had earlier indicated that that most viewers prefer a memorable cinema entertainer to the staple stuff on a Friday evening ; this daring departure from staid routine based on the feedback is paying rich dividends with more and more viewers tuning in at Friday 7 pm. About two years ago, Amrita TV revolutionized scheduling history by introducing reality shows into serial entrenched slots, showing the guts to wean away a population in danger of sinking in tearjerkers. Amrita Television new programming initiative has historians reaching for their quills in a hurry , as History was being made –again.
By switching to the more professional National TV timings of Monday-Thursday and re-organising the programme mix slotted for Friday prime time, Friday evenings are left free from soaps and serials, for 3 hours of non-stop cinematic entertainment that climaxes over dinner. Moreover, this slotting is tailor made for the huge Malayalee Diaspora spread across the Middle East , for whom Friday is a holiday and a movie the ideal way to round off a week end.
