We were given the brief for our coursework and today we mind-mapped other TV channels and shows to get an idea of what to include on my channel. We came up with channels such as Dave, E4, BBC and Nickelodeon, which all host a variety of teen shows on a regular basis. Other channels such as Cartoon Network, Comedy Central.
Dave hosts comedy shows such as Mock the Week, QI and Have I Got News For You. These are shows targeting adults and older teens.
E4 has shows like Smallville, Skins and The Inbetweeners. There are a range of drama and comedy shows.
BBC3 shows Family Guy and American Dad, popular comedy shows aimed at adults and older teens.
Nickelodeon is aimed at younger teens with shows such as Drake and Josh, iCarly, SpongeBob SquarePants and FairlyOdd Parents.
Cartoon Network has shows like Ed, Edd & Eddy and Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls.
Comedy Central airs South Park and [adult swim], more comedy shows which are aimed at older teens and adults.
From this information, I can gather that comedy and drama are popular teen genres, so I may consider this for future tasks. That's all I have for now. Stay tuned.
A good start on your project Ben - and should guide you to further research.
