Type of programmes – and some examples… What could you say about the shows on the channel?
Mostly cooking shows aimed at amateur cook’s for example jamie oliver
Mainly a fashion show fore example what not to wear
Eden mostly documentaries on wildlife
Choose 3 channels – and define the target audience – using CARGEL – explaining WHY you think they are the target audience…
Look at the programme lisRngs to help you and think about the name of the channel
Your 3 Channel’s NARROWCAST to A NICHE audience – try to explain what this means
1. Food’s target audience will be amateur cooks or for those who like a certain presenter for example Jamie Oliver
2. Dave’s primary audience is people who love comdies or they may watch it because of a certain comedian another primary audience is people who love cars
3.Eden is mainly aimed at nature lovers and documentary lovers
These channels are aimed at Niche audiences which means they appeal to certain person’s interests which then makes them what on watch that channel only
Why do they show the same programmes day in day out?
Can you think of any other channels that narrowcast – to niche audiences
What are the strengths and weaknesses of a ‘niche’ TV channel?
To conclude -‐ explain how these channels (DAVE, GOLD etc) appeal to different ranges of audience than the films we have already looked at -‐ even though arguably they are all “mainstream”. How are they able to do this? (Cheaper, repeats, no producRon costs)
Some of you should aaempt to comment criRcally -‐ i.e. is a ‘niche’ TV channel a good idea? Why & why not?
THE CHANNELS SHOW THE SAME TYPE OF PROGRAMMES BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO APPEAL TO A SMALL AUDIENCE THAT LIKES SPECIFIC PROGRAMMES – KNOWN AS A “NICHE” AUDIENCE. THEY ARE “NARROWCASTING” THE PROGRAMMES TO A NICHE AUDIENCE. DEFINITIONS: NICHE AUDIENCE When a TV show (or website or magazine or radio staRon) is aimed at a person’s individual interests -‐ they are said to be a “niche” audience. It appeals to a niche or small or specialist audience. NARROWCAST To transmit programmes (especially by cable / satellite television) confined to the interests of a specific group of viewers, subscribers, or listeners, such as business people, or teenagers. This is the opposite to BROADCAST -‐ e.g. Eastenders appeals to a wide audience (it has 80 year old and 16 year old characters, of different classes and different ethnic groups) of 8 million per episode -‐ therefore it is “broad”cast. Appealing to a wide (broad) audience.
