3. • The name of my show is: Breaking News.
• The show will have 10 episodes all with a 1 hour run length (including advertisements).
Breaking News is set in a fictional Newsroom/News Studio of a UK based news show
and follows the lives and trials of a group of journalists researching and presenting news
on TV.
• I came up with this idea by watching the news and wondering what went on behind the
scenes.
• The episodes of my show will be titled after songs by The 1975. In chronological order
their titles are The City, Facedown, A Change of Heart, Girls, Heart Out, Somebody Else,
Settle Down, UGH, Robbers and Antichrist.

6. The launch date of the pilot episode of
my show will be Friday 6th January 2018
with the final episode airing Friday 10th

for the awards shows that take place

9 days, making full filming around 3
months.
The full length of production will be 4
months.
Pre-production will start on 25th August
2017 and Post-Production will end 24th
February 2018

7. Target Audience
The target age of my show will be 15 and over. Because of this
the show will be broadcast after the watershed at 9pm.
The show will contain some strong language, some violent
scenes and mild drug use. The target audience will also be
predominantly female. The show will not show any obvious
political alignment, as usually with presenting the news there can
be political motivations and in order to ensure my show is
appealing to all, there will be no obvious political alignment.

8. Marketing Plan
Adverts for my TV Show will begin to
air on ITV over 3 weeks before the
release.
The cast will do Interviews about the
show on British morning show Good
Morning Britain.
The poster for the show (right) shall be
put up on billboards and buses across
the country in order to advertise the
show to multiple audiences.
