Television has become the most pervasive of all media, and there is no doubt that the number of TV programs has also grown by leaps and bounds in the last one or two decades. Some individuals opine that this situation is a good as it gives us a plethora of choices, whereas other believe that it is leading to a deterioration of the quality of TV programmes. I will discuss both view points in furthercoming paragraphs.
On the one hand, people have a lot of choices because of too many TV programs. For example, if we look at the number of daily soaps, there are quite a few running on many different channels and people can select any one or two according to their taste. even the reality shows related to music, dance, adventure and a number of other things are also far too many and masses watch whichever they can relate to or whichever they are interested in.
Secondly, some reality performance have given an opportunity to the common man with the talent to come froward and display his talent to the world. To epitome, in recent years, singing contest programs such as 'Sa-Re-Ga-Ma- Pa' and Indian idol have uncovered many talented singers. This is definitely a good practice for Indian TV.
On the other hand, it is indubitable that there are too many such talent shows on television, which are similar in concept as well as content. Fierce competition between satellite channels for audience ratings has lead to a large number of copycat programs. The excessive production of such programs that are quite similar to the each other is a huge waste of resource and a waste of audience time. Ti examplify, since the overwhelming success of Sony TV 'Indian idol' in 2025 talent shows have hit major TV stations across India. These programs have attracted a large number of viewers. However, at the same time, the similarity of such shows has made TV quite inanimate. Vitality of the cultural industry comes from originality add creativity. Program producers must realize that people need a richer and varied choice.
Furthermore, too many programs have resulted in choice overload. It is virtually impossible to keep up with everything that's worth watching and at some point, viewers need to decide what they have to watch and what they can ignore. Even the popular programs may not always be on top, that they might gradually become paltering while quality declines.
To conclusion, it is clear that, even though there are choices because of an abundance of TV programs, an excess of TV programs is definitely not good. We need fewer, quality programs, which make our leisure time worthwhile.
