The 6PM Slot

“Welcome to the world of television, where nothing is ever what it appears.”

 

Tania has a dream job as supervising producer at YTV, a leading entertainment channel. But things are not what they seem – YTV’s ratings and fortunes are dipping, and Tania is the one assigned to resurrect The 6PM Slot with a new talk show and a scantily clad host. But when a dying girl calls on the show the fun and games come to a screeching halt and it gives Rajneesh Tiwari, the demi god of Indian news television, one of his most explosive ‘human interest’ stories of the year. Will life ever be the same for Tania or anyone involved in the doomed 6PM slot

Reader's Comments

  • Sharp & scathing take on media. Do read - Anuradha SenGupta
  • Naomi Datta's candid, behind-the-scenes, fictional take on reality TV and news channels is wildly entertaining. Read The 6 PM Slot! - Shradha Sukumaran
  • The 6pm Slot is dark satire masquerading as frothy roman à clef. If you can spot who's who in the book, you're a media insider. If not, you can revel in the absurdities of this business - Ramya Ramamurthy
  • Naomi experiments and tests the limits of the formulaic happy ending. The irony is often heartbreaking. Watch out for the crafty word play. - Mayurica Biswas
  • A funny, biting look at how TV works. Next time you see a bimbette on TV in a revealing dress you will know the amount of masturbatory deliberations that went into it - Clyde D'Souza
