Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Turkish production companies have proposed cutting episode lengths for television dramas from roughly 140 minutes to 110 minutes, citing falling advertising revenue and rising production costs. The proposal was discussed at a meeting between broadcasters and producers and Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy. The shift matters because shorter episodes could lower per-episode costs and ease scheduling pressure across a sector squeezed by declining ad income. What to watch next is whether channels and the ministry formally adopt the 110-minute standard and how it affects production budgets and broadcast schedules.
