Back in 2017, when there was no reality show airing in television, new television station AP1 HD was established. It was Nepal’s first HD Television. it brought international franchise show, Idol which was popular then that the television itself and show got positive comments and was popular in very short period of time. After end of season 1, most of the crew members resign their job from television station and they started new franchise show, “The Voice of Nepal” which was able to attract more viewers than Nepal Idol. The average YouTube views of Nepal Idol is 1.1 M where as average views of The Voice of Nepal is 1.9 M views. It clearly shows that The Voice of Nepal is more popular among viewers than Nepal Idol.
Why is it so?
- Judges: The judges aren’t changed since the first season. All three judges are repeated. Viwers are not interested in these old judges, they want someone new. As The Voice of Nepal changed their coach in season 2, so that their views increased. The first episode of TVON is 4M whereas Nepal Idol is only 1.6 M.
- Format: The format is not changed as per the need of viewers. Nepali viewers are interested in watching Indian Idol, if organizers are accepted to follow the Indian format, it will probably bring a lot of views.
- Set: The set of Nepal Idol is small. It seems they are shooting in a small room. After success of two seasons, they must have change the studio.
- Social Media Interaction: There is no social media interaction. No teasers and promos are published. They just share link of featured episode. Also, the page shares content from AP1 TV, Facebook page which seems too disgusting.
- Controversies: Due to lot of controversy in the past season, viewers don’t watch Nepal Idol.
