A trader stocks and displays things that are in demand with consumers... TV channels are first business houses catering to the viewer preferences..
Indians are basically hero worshippers - whether in politics or cinema or what not - viewers are therefore for celebrities...
Some friends have commented that the News of consequence beyond urban boundaries are not flashed... But they do cover a few incidents that have hit the headlines, just to cater to the idle curiosity of people of course - not for the news value, or to serve interests of justice denied, but just for curiosity of the viewers...
Our learned urban population also do not care what happens in their own neighbourhood... a news that a Gurkha engaged in voluntary security (collecting a monthly optional contribution of the locals) was reported to have fought with thieves who attempted to steal a two wheeler in the area and was attacked with weapons... and he lay helplessly on the road till a milkman in the early morning picked him up and put in a hospital... the whole night he was lying there with feeble cries for help...
Our people by and large will look passively at an accident on the road without the least feeling to help the injured.. If one indeed helped it will be hot NEWS for the media again... !
So people get the media recipes that they deserve by their own tastes and preferences, sir..

It is unfortunate that Indian TV news channels became metro centric, focusing on people goes with easy money, ignoring real issues concerned to vast majority of the people.
As a result their viewership also very low compared to social / entertainment channels. news channels are said to be as male channels too.
They also patronage to corporates. If one point down in sensez, a big news, though it do not concern even one person of population.

Well, its business. Its called mass appeal. Of course, you dont need appeal to drive you to learn what is going on in the world around you. Nevertheless, its a fast paced world and people are constantly on the move for the cool things, thanks to their bulging pockets.
They want the latest gadgets, trendy dresses, pizza huts... in other worlds, everything on a silver platter spiced up with some glamour. So, its common sense that celebrities are needed to endorse everyhting including news channels!

It is because that the TV channel wants more people to watch their channel. and these celebreties have the value for their face and many people recognize them, People do not watch Doordarshan for long because there are no celebreties.
