BBC1
BBC One's remit is to be the BBC's most popular mixed-genre television service across the UK, offering a wide range of high-quality programmes. A very high proportion of its programmes should be original productions. The BBC 1 tries to fit in with the crowd and be multi-cultural company because they need to cater for everyone.They have to fit in with the genres like drama,comedy and entertainment.There are many t.v shows that come on here like Eastenders, holby city and the bbc news.I think it fits in with working class and ages between 16 yrs onwards.
BBC2
There is variety of genres being showed on here.They have programmes that adds to your knowledge and way of thinking.Some programmes that appear on here are Cash in the attic, Eggheads and a documentary on penguins lives.I think these are aimed for older people as you wouldn't really see 16 year old watching a documentary on penguins they would probably rather watch EastEnders would say the target audience is for mid 20's-60 year old.
ITV
ITV has been around for many years and some new and old shows still appear on this channel. Many T.V shows appear on this channel like Coronation street, X-factor, I'm a celebrity get me out of here etc. They have a range of genres like drama,real life stories etc.I think the target audience is for working-class between the ages of 16-40 year old would watch these.

Channel 4
Channel 4 mainly focuses on soaps and entertainment.Some programmes that are on here are Hollyoaks, Deal or no deal,come dine with me and many more.Channel 4 launched in 1982 there job was to inform and entertain the younger generation and older generation.they wanted to do both audience to keep the range wide enough.I think the audience would be for young teenager so 15-21 year old and then older from 28 years onwards.

Channel 5
The programmes that appear on channel 5 are soaps like Neighbours,Home and Away,Big brother,and early in the morning they show kids programmes at breakfast like Milkshakes, Thomas and the tank engine on weekdays.This shows they like to cater for young children and adults.Channel 5 was launched in 1991 and has been around for 23 years.Channel 5 would fall under the low brow category as its not really appealing to the older generation and only younger people really watch Big Brother etc.I think channel 5 mainly do target 16-40 years old even though they play kids programmes they aren't shown during the day.
