Recently, one of its news anchor (which was conducting a popular talk show during the prime time) has moved to a rival news channel PRIME NEWS.
The Anchor is now planning to host a similar talk show which he used to conduct in PEOPLE’S TV. Fearing, decline in talk show’s TRP, PEOPLE’S TV has roped in it’s another star presenter to host the show with a new branding, look & feel but audience response to the show’s new avatar is not much encouraging and even few advertisers has moved out of the show.
