It seems like only yesterday when the idea of publishing a glossy television magazine was conceived… It was a tough task at first but the birth of GR8! TV Magazine finally took place… A magazine completely and totally dedicated to the Indian Television industry… A podium for the industry dwellers to relate from, to directly interact with its viewers… An avenue for viewers to find out all they ever wanted to know about this industry… and things happened and before we knew it, years just flew by. Today our baby’s all grown up… With this issue we’re celebrating our 11th.anniversary! Thank you, one and all here at GR8!, all of our dedicated readers and our entire TV fraternity for your constant encouragement and support. It’s been a great journey thus far & here’s looking forward to many more years together.
 
The desi TV industry sure has grown by leaps and bounds in this past decade and even today it’s displaying no signs whatsoever of decelerating. New channels are being added every month practically and so content produced is growing heaps too. New bold & beautiful stuff on the Hindi general entertainment channels seems to be hitting the airwaves of late – those you can look out for include new shows on old channels such as Zee TV's ‘Jamai Raja’ & ‘Neeli Chatri Waale’ , Star Plus’ ‘Airline- Har Udaan Ek Tufaan’s and Star’s light-hearted and cheery show ‘Nisha Aur Uske Cousins’. Life OK’s ‘Laut Aao Trisha’ and a few others on Sony TV that boast novel storylines are worth watching out for.
 
New channels that have recently kicked off include one from the house of Zee, namely
Zindagi and one from the house of Sony, namely Sony Pal. Sony Pal launches on 1st September, 2014 and will be airing a show produced by us called ‘Simply Baatein with Raveena Tandon’. This show has been envisioned & created especially for the Indian housewife keeping all her wants & needs in mind. Watch out for this as well starting Sun 7th September at 7 pm every week ..
 
Other than this, many golden oldies are calling it a day, for now at least… ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ on Colors comes to an end but ‘Bigg Boss’ (Season 8) promos on the same channel have already begun. ‘Dance India Dance’ on Zee TV is coming to a close but ‘India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj’ on the same channel is starting soon. Star TV has a new reality show too, ‘India’s Raw Star’, a first of its kind singing reality show where audiences will get to view contestants sing “original” songs, songs that have been composed and written by the contestant themselves. Sony TV too had launched ‘Entertainment Ke liye Kuch Bhi Karega’ - Season 5, following which started the much-awaited season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ – So, lots of good stuff to keep us pleased at home these sluggish months before the excitement of Dushhera & Diwali kicks in.
 
On that happy note, it’s goodbye for now. Time to catch up on all you’ve missed in telly-land these past few weeks…Until next time, happy reading!
