01 TELEVISION

We look at current news articles about the BBC and return to the OCR fact sheet on the television industry.  

According to The Times newspaper this week,  watching TV live and in real time accounts for most TV viewing.

  1. What do you understand by the terms 'live' content and 'on demand' content? The terms 'live' makes me understand that the watchers are up to date and know exactly what's going on, the word 'live' refers that the audience are also 'alive' and are interacting with the tv and the information that they are given. The term 'demand' content suggests that the readers are able to access the newspapers anytime and so they can watch whenever.
  2. What is the demand for 'live' content like? The demand for 'live' content is that people want to have the same experience as you do on other platforms on this platform, it's also that people want to be able to watch things at certain times as they may be busy sometimes and unable to watch their favourite shows.
  3. According to ratings research, there are 8 programmes cited as the top live shows for family viewing. How many have you watched? I have watched; Strictly, Britain's got talent, the great British bake off.
  4. Apply Blumler and Katz's audience framework to what you learn from this article. The Blumler and Katz's audience framework is used here because of the entertainment and the interaction skills where people can both enjoy it and be interacting with each other, especially families and society in general, which would make people feel more connected to each other. The image below would intrigue people as they could be people they look up too which would attract more readers.
