 We look at current news articles about the BBC and return to the OCR fact sheet on the television industry.  

According to The Times newspaper this week,  watching TV live and in real time accounts for most TV viewing.

1. What do you understand by the terms 'live' content and 'on demand' content
2. live content is content broadcasted live, and on demand is content that has already been broadcasted that can be re watched on devices.
3. What is the demand for 'live' content like?
4. the demand for live content is fairly strong, this is because people look forward to certain shows at certain times, and people like to watch live shows as a family event.
5. According to ratings research, there are 8 programmes cited as the top live shows for family viewing. How many have you watched? i have watched strictly come dancing, and Britain's got talent, Paddington 2 and the great British bake off.
6. Apply Blumler and Katz's audience framework to what you learn from this article.
   
7. the bumler and katz framework is used here because watching tv expresses social skills, because people are able to socialise and interact with eachother by using  tv. People may also form a relationship with certain characters or contestants during live Tv, and people can feel a togetherness whilst bonding over opinions and interpretations of the show. This is extremely important to maintain over this difficult time, and this corresponds with the blumer and katz framework of 'social interacting' and 'personal relationships'.
