Content & Audiences 
of the
BBC

BBC 1: Content

BBC 1 Has quite broad and Scripted Content. They commandeer to family and the general public so the comedy is mostly Situation based and larger then life comedy that relate to the ordinary man. a few examples of this are Mrs Browns Boys,  Not Going Out and Outnumbered.

BBC 1: Audience 

BBC 1's audience is mainstream and general. more specifically C1 class (the most common level of jobs in the UK)   This means there programming shows on BBC are more family friendly.



BBC 2: Content
BBC 2 has distinctive and varied content. This is where they put there most unique and valued work (pioneering perhaps) and see if they grab a wide enough audience to put on the primary channel (BBC 1) some examples of this are Count Arthur Strong, Harry & Paul and The Trip To Italy.

BBC 2: Audience
BBC 2's audience are very appreciative of comedy and this channel's content. The audience class I believe is B class (the minimal level of managerial  professionals.) the're quite responsive too as this is the show where the BBC test there more unique shows.


BBC 3: Content
BBC 3 has intensive and experimental content (including adult humor) , BBC three audience requires some more relatable programming such as Cuckoo,  Bad Education and Some Girls. these have situational comedy  elements with adult content and appropriate age range characters.

BBC 3: Audience

BBC 3's audience are young adults and teenagers. most likely the E class (lowest class of worker)
where the characters are of that demographer.
