Research into ITV and Channel 5

-


Welcome back, in this blog post I am going to be showing you the research I have done into the two television channels I have been given the task to make a television program for, ITV and Channel 5.

ITV: As an integrated producer broadcaster, ITV, creates, owns and distributes high-quality content on multiple platforms globally. ITV operate the largest commercial family of channels in the UK and deliver their content through linear television broadcasting as well as on demand via the ITV Hub and across other platforms globally. Television advertising revenue is the main investment in the programming. The family of channels attracted a total share of viewing (SOV) of 21.7% in 2017, the largest audience of any UK commercial broadcaster. Our main channel is the largest commercial channel in the UK, delivering 99% of all commercial audiences over five million.

Welcome! Hi, my name is Becca and this is my introduction to my media studies coursework. I am currently 17 years old, studying my A levels at Hills Road sixth form college. These consist of Media studies, History and Drama, in hopes that they will help me go on to study Film studies at University. The task I have been set from my college is to create a cross-media production for a new television programme, which includes an audio visual aspect along with a print aspect. I will be keeping you posted on my progress across these next few months until November, when my deadline is. Until next time, Becca :)
