Those who expected the finale of the Tuzak (Trap) series after being moved to a late hour on Wednesday evenings were wrong. Acun Ilıcalı, the owner of TV8, announced that the series would continue and nullified all the allegations. After this development, the decision to change the day was announced last week.
Tuzak series, starring Akın Akınözü, Bensu Soral, Talat Bulut and Rıza Kocaoğlu, now meets the audience on Thursday evenings. This time at 20:00, that is, at the hour when the audience is at the busiest screen, the Tuzak series continues to be broadcast.
Both the continuation and the change in the day regarding the Tuzak series mean that the ratings are no longer important. It is also very difficult for the series to make a big debut after that.
However, it is not known whether the TV8 management wants to attract the viewers of the series to its own channel, it is determined to continue the Tuzak series, even if the ratings are low.
Since Acun Medya is the producer, the story can be sustained without increasing the costs for the Tuzak series, since it is an in-house project.
This step of TV8 can be an example for other television channels. Because it is no longer easy to maintain audience loyalty, and it is very uncomfortable for the audience to broadcast a series, create great expectations and then take it off the air quickly. It turns out that channel officials now have to pay attention to this situation and if they want audience loyalty in future projects, they shouldn’t break the heart of the audience too much.
The Tuzak series stands out as one of the most important productions to resist the ratings, and perhaps other channels may prefer to win the audience by keeping their TV series on the screen for a certain period of time, even if not very good ratings have been achieved in the near future.
The symbol of resisting ratings seems to be the Tuzak series.
