The broadcasting of the 23rd episode of the Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sherbet) series was stopped after a warning from the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK), and the discussions that arose are not on the agenda.
RTÜK, which had suspended the broadcast of 5 episodes upon its previous decision, thus changed the balance of Friday evenings.
On the evening of April 14, while Kızılcık Şerbeti fans were waiting for a new episode, the documentary sent to the channel by RTÜK was broadcast. The actors, the set crew and the industry reacted to this decision. This ban situation became the agenda on social media.
However, the result did not change. A difficult process started for Kızılcık Şerbeti, which has achieved double-digit rates in the AB and ABC1 groups for the last 4 weeks in the rating race on Friday evenings and won the first place from its rival Yalı Çapkını (Golden Boy).
Unless a different decision is made by the court, this situation of the Kızılcık Şerbeti series, which will not be on the screen for 4 more weeks, will benefit the Yalı Çapkını the most.
Even though names such as Afra Saraçoğlu and Mert Ramazan Demir have acted as a gentleman by explaining messages of support for the rival series, the situation that emerged is very beneficial for the Yalı Çapkını.
On the evening of April 14, when there was no new episode of Kızılcık Şerbeti, Yalı Çapkını again reached double-digit rates in all audience groups.
However, in the previous weeks, there was a Yalı Çapkını performance that had difficulty in reaching double-digit rates in the AB and ABC1 groups, and even regressed to the limit in the all-person category.
However, with the implementation of the ban, the 28th episode of the Yalı Çapkını series regained its former power in all audience groups and produced a rating performance of up to 12.
This means that the punishment given by RTÜK to the Kızılcık Şerbeti TV series has regained the lost viewers of the Yalı Çapkını series.
Although this ban decision was a troublesome process for the industry, it naturally gave the opportunity to increase the viewing rates for rival TV series broadcast on Friday evenings.
