In a time when everything is going the corporate way; from small time manufacturers to Bollywood, one wonders what is the fate of our television industry going to be! Though some production houses have made an early entry to the corporate culture, a large majority still believes in nepotism and whimsical approach to work. We spark a debate among TV folks to know how much our television industry is organized at the moment.

Sanjiv Sharma

If you compare world television and Indian television, I think, we differ in not acknowledging the Intellectual Property Rights. We have fostered an environment of plagiarism and that is our biggest malady. I would say that our producer's need to do more thinking than delivering tapes all through the day.

Parmeet Sethi

I feel it's pretty organized. Look at the number of people getting employment in the industry. I also agree that there are certain areas that need improvement, like an advance scheduling so that in any eventuality the programme does not have to bereplaced or re-run.

Maanav Gohil

Though this industry has given me a lot, I still feel there are areas that require more discipline. As an actor I am not too happy with the working conditions that one has to encounter everyday. We have to work endlessly without any holidays and it starts getting difficult for us to adjust to such demands. Moreover things like favoritism rule the roost in our industry.

Kanchi Kaul

It's not at all organized. Here we have no scripts on time which affects the banking of episodes. Which in turn means more pressure on the producer, actors and technicians. Though I must praise the efforts some actors and producers are doing to organize the industry.

Deepak Tijori

I have heard stories where episodes are made on a cut-to-cut basis. I don't understand why the producer's and the channel don't have a bank of episodes prior to launching a show. And then you have actors fainting and technicians going without sleep for days. We need to put an end to such disorganized scheduling.
