In a first-of-its-kind move for Hindi general entertainment channels, genre leader Star Plus is upping the ante further by taking its original programming as early as 5 pm.

The channel already boasts the maximum hours of original programming from 6 pm till 11 pm, from Monday to Saturday. At 11 pm, it now airs the repeat episode of ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’.

Starting 26 January, the channel will add one more hour of original programming to its weekday line-up. It is shifting the 10.30 pm soap ‘Veera’ to the new 5 pm slot while the 6 pm show ‘Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon’ moves up to 5:30 pm.

The cooking reality show ‘Masterchef India’, which the channel is launching on 26 January at 10.30 pm, will also have its repeat at 6 pm. The series will run for about 10 weeks.

now itself most of the GECs in all languages are running serials from morning till night and if asked they would say we got separate channels for contents so enjoy watching them.

I think they should work on original contents in Afternoon. DD is and was quite successful in Afternoon serials. They should push that 1 hour at Afternoon rather then Evening because very few watch serials at 5.

I remember early days of ZEE and SONY they used to show Movies in Afternoon. SONY was even gave the cool name of "Cine Matinee" but year after year those things became history.

I think since we now having too many movies channel from every Group and same movie keep repeating and airing the same in GEC is not all good idea now.

Better they bring the time slot of 12:00 to 02:00 for fresh content then 07:00 to 11:00. BTW it doesn't matter what I suggest they will remain no. 1 even if they close all serials :laugh:
