01 TV

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? on demand is not live and so you can watch it any time but live is on a schedule
  2. What is the demand for 'live' content like? 73% in 2019
  3. According to ratings research, there are 8 programmes cited as the top live shows for family viewing. How many have you watched? 6/8
  4. Apply Blumler and Katz's audience framework to what you learn from this article. people use this for the surveillance gratification by finding out what is happening in the wider society like at The PM's briefing. people watching it together gratifies the need for forming relationships within a family over the shows they are watching and also bonds with society also.
