The Cbbc and Cbeebies analysis
Cbeebies target audience is 0 to 6 years old. Each programs will have a more concentrated audience as content for a 3 year old won’t be
appealing to a 6 year old. For example a 3 year old may like Shaun the sheep
but most likely a 6 year old will not like it and prefer Andy dinosaur adventures.
The age also determines what time these
programs will be on for example really young children (0 years to 3 years)
will have more time to watch TV as they do not go to school so their programs
will be earlier and the content of the shows will be more fantasy and nonfiction
but as they grow older the more realism comes into the programs to show them
the events of real life.
Cbbc target audience is 6 to 12 this just before they become
teenagers. Just like Cbeebies each programs will have a concentrated audience
as content for 6 year old will not appeal to a ten year old. For example 7 year
old's might like Scooby Doo but it won’t appeal to someone who is twelve. who
would prefer to watch dragons defenders of berk . When kids grow in age the BBC
thinks that their programs should be slightly more real and can relate to the
kids rather than just fiction. There are programs which are fiction but it
will be more detailed and have a more in depth story as the kids are older and
can understand more. The age also affects the time these programs are shown
as the older kids can stay up later then the younger kids. So their programs
will be shown generally at a later.
