The decline in ratings may be the reason for not doing it
As for why Hong Tao terminated the production of the program, I am afraid it has to do with the decline in ratings and audience feedback. There is a certain relationship.
As a phenomenal variety show, the "Singer" series has been recorded for eight seasons. The program name has also been changed from "I Am a Singer" to "Singer", and the latest season "The Year of the Singer" ”, if Hong Tao still insists on continuing to produce this program, is it possible to make the program into “Future Star of Singers”?
The decline in the popularity of invited artists has become an indisputable fact. Rather than eroding the audience's goodwill towards the program, it is better to focus on programs that have a better chance of being recognized.
