The season two of Indian Idol - the reality talent hunt has been shifted to 9 pm slot from the earlier 8:30 pm. The change will be effective from 13 February.

The first season of Indian Idol was aired in the 9:30 pm time slot. However with the second season, the channel had hoped to en-cash on the strong cachet in the 8:30 pm band that Fame Gurukul had managed to make.

But time shuffle is done by Sony in a bid to get some traction going for Indian Idol. The official reason given for the time shuffle is that viewers in the metros were unable to catch the show at 8:30 pm and hence the change.
