TV Schedualing

Timing Schedual:

• Breakfast programmes - depends on the channel

What does the term 'Watershed' mean and when does it occur:

The watershed occurs at 9 o'clock. It is when the more adult programmes start and the channels 'shed' their younger audiences.

TV Scheduling:

• Inheritance - programme is schedualed after already popular programme to try and gain some of its audience.
• Pre-echo - programme is schedualed before already popular programme so the audince for it might see the last few minuets of the new programme.
• Hammocking - programme is scheduled between two already popular programmes to combine 'Inheritrance' and 'Pre-echo'.
