ITV 2 don’t do many documentaries as they’re know for their reality – but
when they do, they do ones based on celebrities and what they are doing at
the moment.
Their documentaries aren't academic or persuasive or informative – but just
really following lives and what happening

In comparison to other channels, ITV 2 based most of their
programmes on gossip and celebrities.
Their channel has their specific audience therefore has its own
specific taste that will contrast many other channels – which is
why it is its own channel in the first place.
It caters purely for the mainstream young teenagers and adults
generally.
Furthermore, their documentaries which they don’t do a lot have
been on celebrities or the rising of a celebrity. In comparison to
other channels, they don’t really do that because its not
informative, educational or persuasive, so they’re quite poor in
comparison.

21. Target Audience
In the mornings on channel 5,
Milkshake takes over and only
shows children's programmes –
therefore during this time the
target audience is little kids,
toddlers and babies for when
they’re getting ready for school or
just having their breakfast.

22. Target Audience
On channel 5 you don’t usually
find any mainstream programmes
apart from big brother so their
target audience would be quite
small and people with different
tastes. It would probably be for
people who enjoy American
programmes and people in their
30’s and 40’s

24. Types of Documentaries
Channel 5 documentaries are usually ones that haven't been done before.
They do documentaries to inform the views of a certain story or situation –
which become very popular because of its originality.
They do a lot of real life stories and explaining the reality of things that
happen.

25. How does Channel 5 compare to other channels?
In comparison to other channels, Channel five is
very different. I feel as though channel 5 show
programmes that wont necessarily cater to a wide
audience as their programmes are unique and liked
by not many people.
Furthermore, their documentaries seem very plain
but interesting. They take a story and just inform
and educate the audience without trying overly to
impress a specific audience.

26. Which Channel would I choose to do my Documentary?
For my topics would much prefer to show them on channel 5 as I
feel they have the best, informative and interesting
Documentaries as their not mainstream and expected.
They show controversial and spooky-weird documentaries that
would wouldn't have seen before and done glam up their
documentaries to fit a specific audience, they just show what it is,
for how it is.
