BBC Pitching

Pitching To The BBC

At the end of this project i will be submitting my script to a commissioning process. To do this we will propose to the BBC, via their e-commissioning scheme. The BBC shows a wide variety of shows, for all different audiences, on several different channels. Each channel shows a different style of show and therefore have a very varied target audience, respective for each channel.


The channels include:

• BBC 1 
• BBC 2
• BBC 3 
• BBC 4 
• Cbeebies
• CBBC

The script that i write will most likely be shown BBC channels 1-4, rather than the two childrens channels that the BBC run. 
BBC 1 appeals to an extremely broad audience, as it is the 'shop window' for the BBC. It shows a variety of shows from all genres and backgrounds. This is also the most popular tv channel in the UK.
BBC 2 is mainstream channel that is skewed towards an older audience. Programs on this channel most often factual based, and shows a wide range of documentaries.
BBC 3 is a mixed genre channel aimed at younger audiences. Most programs on this channel are comedy based, and it offers an enviroment for new ideas. Its is the perfect place for new shows to be first aired. 
BBC 4's aim is to show quality programming for older audience. This channels audience must feel that watching televison is time well spent, and should be enlightened by the experience.
