FEMINA CHANGE THE TELECAST PARTNER OF CONTEST

[sydney005]

It seems that SET (Sony Ent Television) is least interested (or Femina maybe) in telecasting the grand finaale of PFMI for last few years. i firmly believe Femina should change its telecast partner coz there are so many other networks waiting n willing to do for sure. if not atleast Doordarshan will do the work, which they were doing fabulously before sony took it over.

what do u people have to say on this?

There was a time when almost all mega events like FILMFARE , SCREEN AWARDS , FEMINA MISS INDIA etc were shown LIVE. According to the new strategy they are not shown live. Because if they show LIVE the show will drag and go for 6 hours like it used to .. I still remember FEMINA MISS INDIA 2001 which started at 7 in the Evening and finished at 1 in morning. Whew...

Now with stiff nech competition and very less attention span of Viewers they do the editing and add masala and jhatkas to the show and present to us in the way they want us to see. No one saw the "Real " answers of DIMPLE and DAYANA in Miss India 2011!

Plus , I really feel our Television Event management companies are not so professional and swift like US channels to condense a show to 2 hours and that too LIVE where every SECOND matters!!!

I fully agree with u Rajat but still y so late in telecasting the main event? does it take ages to edit the show? u forgot to add that they have to satisfy the sponsors also by showing their ads again n again, u know this delay also one reason y the interst in such events is dwindling.

i really feel sad for Femina not getting any eyeballs now!!!

I agree with both points. I think that if they are going to do a delayed telecast (which is CERTAINLY because of the length and loose structure of the show), they should at least try and do it the very next day or something....

Also, I have to say that I have HATED the Sony editing of the show the last couple of years -- especially last year, with all the terrible camera angles, and the constant fast-forwarding and rewinding when the girls walked (are they trying to be a DJ or something?) and the annoying pauses all over the place, it was PAINFUL to watch. The old telecasts used to be much better, and I agree with Nishant that Star World's broadcast of IAS was much cleaner and better, but that is also a more simple show so it is hard to compare -- but they can certainly take some good pointers from them...

I feel that a big win at MW or MU will reignite the interest somewhat, and maybe we will see better traffic and better productions again...
(I do feel that the production of the Miss India finale is still very nice and very grand, and I just LOVE the Zoom episodes -- now THOSE are well edited....)

I only enjoy the live telecast of the shows they are much more fun and the shows which are aired later really lack the X factor in it and i don't watch such shows weather they are edited well or not i just don't feel like watching them

I recall reading in tpmum.com that the femina miss india contest back in those days "put the oscars to shame"
http://www.tpmum.com/uni00th.html
....such was the quality of the show and the production. But now its a total wreck. Whats the point in watching the show when you already know the outcome...and yes, the last year telecast was horrendous! You simply couldn't judge a single girls cat walk skills cos u hardly got to watch any.

forget about the editing the performance are so tacky especially by those stand up comedians seriously it brings down the standard and purpose of the show and why so many bollywood stars as judges ? why there aren't any international judges like they had in the 90's

I agree fully with you.
all cheap acts by those comedians and that too when when reigning Miss World anf Julia Morley are guests. i feel its put up by Sony.

and regarding the judges why they include all bollywood and tv stars along with some sportspersons i dont get. do these people know what are the requirements of a beauty pageant?

all foolish! Femina get ready for another disaster
