BBC One
We canclearly see that BBC one aims to target older and mature
audiences, we can see this from the programmes on the channel like the old
soaps “Eastenders” and “Casualty” which people would have been watching
for many years. Another reason to suggest BBC One targets an older
audience would be the formality of it’s News, unlike news shows like “This
Morning.” which is usually viewed by younger more modern audiences.
