TV scheduling.

The schedule for each day can be broken down into clear segments. How could you categorise these segments ?

• Daytime.
• Afternoon.
• Evening.

Who are the target audience for these segments?

• Daytime - House wives, old people e.g. homes under the hammer, Jeremy Kyle.
• Afternoon - Children, old people e.g. CBBC.
• Evening - Teenage, adults e.g. Coronation Street, True blood.

What would you say are the most popular genres on television?

Soaps and documenrtaries - Coronation street, Hollyoaks, Holby City, Eastenders, Home and away, Who do you think you are, Bodyshock.

Who is the target audience of each terrestrial channel? Give examples of schedules programmes to support your views.

• BBC 1 - Adults.
• BBC 2 - Adults.
• ITV 1 - Children and adults, CITV, Coronation street.
• Channel 4 - Niche audience, Body shock, Skins.
• Channel 5 - Everyone, Milkshake, CSI Miami.

Roughly, what percentage of each channel's schedules is taken up with repeats? Why do you think this is?

There is about 15% of channels that are repeats, however there are more repeats on some channels than others.

Which channels have more imported programmes in their schedules? Why do you think this might be?

Channel Five has the most imported channels e.g. Home and away. I think this is because Channel Five doesnt have popular English shows like BBC, therefore they chose to use popular imported channels.

What do ypu understand by the term 'the watershed' and where does this occur in the schedules?

The watershed is were the programmes can have more adult humour, drugs, violence and stronger lanuage.

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.
