4. (a) Compare how and why two programmes were scheduled on different channels.



Channel 4: Contains advert and is more entertainment based,they gain their money by allowing other programmes to broadcast on their channel at certain times

BBC: Has no adverts and gains money from TV licence which every person who wishes to watch TV in England has to pay for.BBC is more informative compared to channel 4 as they broadcast documentation  and world news.

Friday Night Dinner
British television situation comedy written by Robert Popper and starring Tamsin Grieg, Paul Ritter, Simon Bird,Tom Rosenthal and Mark Heap
Big Talk Productions and Popper Pictures
Target Audience:16+ because it uses adult humor and infrequent use of bad language .
The reason it shows late evening is due to the fact it is based for adults and children go to bed,the channel 4 shows it is not as realistic and serious as BBC and concentrate more on the entertainment side.
Yes it is on after watershed as it uses strong language and inappropriate scenes for younger children.








Bad Education 

BBC commissioned this programme
Jack Whitehall produced Bad Education
Target audience-16+ uses of bad,offensive,inappropriate language.
The reason they are on late evening and BBC is because children who are young go to bed which allows the older teenagers and adults to watch this and they would understand the humor as they are more mature.
This show is on after watershed as it is a late show and is aimed for adults to watch and not a young audience and that is why the time is late.
