CHANNEL 4 RESEARCH

 

Channel 4’s guiding light is its remit, as laid out in legislation by Parliament. At its heart the remit requires us to be innovative, experimental, distinctive and diverse. It is multi-faceted, with different components, such as supporting and stimulating well-informed debate and inspiring people to make changes in their lives. The remit also suggests how we can deliver outcomes – for example by investing in high-quality media content and nurturing creative talent. It applies across the full spread of our genres – from comedy and film to news and education.
Audiences lie at the heart of everything we do at Channel 4. Our unique model means that we aim to have as wide an appeal as possible while also reaching out to specific demographics under-served by other broadcasters. We worked harder than ever in 2012 to engage with our viewers, harnessing new technologies to allow us to better understand their likes and dislikes and develop a more personal relationship with audiences that we expect to deepen further over time.

The comedy programmes seem to be mainly aimed at younger people - I think Channel 4 wants to appeal to a younger audience and does this by using slightly quirkier programmes you don't see on other channels

  1. This is the best work that I have marked so far: you show clear evidence of the channel's brand identity and ethos. You give evidence of their comedy programme scheduling.
    Have you come to any conclusions about the target audience (age and gender) for any of the programmes?
