Q02
Some reasonscited for this phenomenon are:
● Distinct nature of the Indian television viewing world where 93% live in a
one-tv household reality
● Television viewing is essentially community viewing. Often certain things
don't work on tv because people watch tv with their immediate and
extended families
● Television is a representation of the average Indian, the mass consumer
who enjoys stereotypical scenes, situations and songs and comes back
to them whenever he can. A family entertainer will always work on
television because it not just allows for emotional peaks and curves
every couple of minutes but can be watched in segments or its entirety
with at least one other member of the family multiple times without
discomfort.
Above reasons are cited for what 'repetitive’ phenomena?
