Tum Dena... and Meri Maa to go off air; Life OK up for programming change

Life OK, revamped from Star One, introduced a unique way of programming. Be it involving Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit as the sutradhaar or running shows for a time of twenty minutes, the channel has tried different things. Recently, the channel pulled off one its show, Zindagi Kahe... Smile Please. And now two more shows are going to meet the same fate. Buzz is that, Magic Lanterns’ Tum Dena Saath Mera and K Venkatesh Productions’ Meri Maa will see their last telecast on 22 April 2012 owing to poor TRPs. Tellychakkar.com contacted Rajita Sharma, Producer of Magic Lantern and she confirmed the buzz of her show going off air. But that is not it, as there’s more news coming from this front. We already reported that Hum Ne Li Hai… Shapath will turn a bi-weekly from 23 April 2012 with Sagar Arts and Nilanajana 72 Degree’s Aasman Se Aage, getting the slot of 10:30 pm. And now we bring to you more exclusive news. A source informs Tellychakkar.com that Shapath will air for one hour on Saturdays and for two hours on Sundays from 23 April 2012 for a month. After that, this show will air for an hour on both these days at 9 pm. B.P Singh, Producer of Fireworks informs, “The channel wanted to make the show bi-weekly and we are delivering the same to them. Earlier, one story ran for 10-15 days but now the viewers will get to see a different story in every new episode.” Not only this, even the running time of various series aired on the channel will witness some change. Shows like Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev, Amrit Manthan, Main Laxmi Tere Aangan Ki, Dil Se Di Dua… Saubhagyavati Bhava and Aasman Se Aage would air for 30 Minutes for five days a week. And a few other shows would air for six days a week for a month and would see a few more changes later on.
