Scheduling theory.

TV companies want to reach the right audience for a particular programme.
  • Inheritance - scheduling a programme after a popular one to try and 'inherit' their audience.
  • Pre-echo - scheduling a programme before a popular programme that viewers will tune in early.
  • Hammocking - between two popular programmes
Remote controls have had an impact, satellite/cable/freeview - makes audience active (sky+)
Watershed after 9 - sex,drugs, violence
Narrowcasting - specific target audience - e.g. disney channel, discovery channels, Nickelodeon, LivingTV, Dave.
