    If i am not wrong early 90's Indian Television industry was dominated by ZEE. There were old fundu programs like antakshari, 1 minute.In 2000-2001 Starplus came with Ekta's Family Fundu serials and Offcourse BigB's KBc. Parallaly Zee, Sony and other have also started on family show.

    Indian Televesion industry has comeup with new ideas to become popular.

    2005, First Indian Idol, a singing talent contest to determine the best undiscovered young singer in the country. It is based on the international Idol series format, launched by UK show Pop Idol.

    Today reality show has taken an importance in the Television Industry. Reality shows are now on every channel on bulk. May be because every sort of audience find interest in them, atleast people who are bored of typical Saas Bahu drama shows greater interest in them ZEE, Sony, Starplus are few of them who are more focusing on these shows.

after sucess of Indian Idol -1 series, bunch of shows have come up like: (1) Indian Idol - session 2 and 3 (Sony) (2) saregamapa - 3 session (Zee) (3) Voice of india - 2 session and currently one is goin on (Star-plus) (4) BigBoss and so many other ongoing shows at 9X and star-one,etc.

But are this shows beneficial to the viewers of indian country after back-to-back incident on live show?

There was fire but did not turned big but now during shooting of another episode of "Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket", again huge dispute aroused between new contestant and celebrity contestant.
