Steal the style: Channel research


Channel research-E4

E4 is a sister channel for Channel 4, it has a niche audience and is funded by it's advertisements.
  • It's daily reach is averaged at (1) "2,877" people
  • It got launched in 2001 (2)
  • It began transmission on freeview 2005
  • It's most successful ages are 16-34 year olds(4)
E4's remit is the same across all related services (Channel 4, E4, More4, Film4, 4Seven, All 4 and digital projects). 
It requires them to be (3) "innovative, to inspire change, to nurture talent and to offer a platform for alternative views".

Steal the Style fit this as it's a show that is fitting into an opening in the market, there is a considerable lack of fashion shows on TV right now. 
It also has a new look on fashion itself as it focuses more on everyday people and affordable accessibility existing to catwalk/high street fashion trends rather then creating new looks.

Because Steal the Style wants to be targeted at 16-50 year olds and is looking to be broadcast at 7pm on a Wednesday I did some research into the type of shows that E4 typically shows at that time.



The show that is usually broadcast then is a re-run of Hollyoaks, this could easily be moved back half an hour. Due to it being one of the biggest and well known shows with a large established audience we wouldn't be able to simply get rid of it from the schedule.
Because it's going to get aired at 7 the show will be able to reach it's full target audience of 16-50 year olds. It would also be able to take advantage of the multiple platforms E4 broadcasts on such as online and target people that way.
