Kingdom. ITV1 is a mainstream public service channel funded by advertising revenue.

aims to attract the widest possible audience by offering a range of high quality
programmes that are inclusive in their appeal, particularly at peak viewing
times. Whilst mainly targeted at mass audiences, ITV1 also shows
programmes for particular sections of the audience: for example children,
adults under 35, men, and people watching at home during the day. ITV1 has
no specific remit to cater for specific minorities or to be innovative in form or
content, though these qualities will be present in the schedule from time to
time.

female women about the age 30+. Whereas men may watch UEFA Champions
League because this would appeal to them.

TELEVISION DRAMAS
 One television drama on ITV is Downton Abbey this programme would appeal to an older target
audience around 30+ because it’s quite an old fashioned drama series so it wouldn’t appeal to a younger
generation target audience. Also because it starts at 9pm this means that it is past the 9 o clock water
shed so children would not be watching it.
 Another television drama on ITV would be broad church. Women would be the primary target
audience for this drama series this also would appeal to more middle aged women as the programme
starts at 9pm so it is after the 9 o clock water shed so it wouldn’t be suitable for children of a younger age.
