It seems that Channel 4 has decided that its target audience is lower in age than before. A lot of the prime time space is now filled with programmes that appeal to teens and young adults. Take for example T4. Johnny Bravo, Blunt, Hollyoaks, Making the Band, Futurama, Italian football and WWF Wrestling, all target the younger ages. This is probably because Channel 4 recognises that we are still in bed gone midday, and that we are likely to just lie there and watch TV! True!
Channel 4 still has Brookside for slightly more mature members of the population (well, I think so!) and Countdown and 15 to 1, but from 17:30, we are the target, and I love it! The programmes range from soaps to comedies to documentaries, to fun cartoons to sport and action. Channel 4’s Friday evenings do leave a bit to be desired compared to BBC2 now that Friends has finished, although still broadcasted during the week, and South Park just doesn’t seem that funny anymore. Frasier, well, never quite got into it, Graham Norton is a funny chap though, good comedy entertainment, although not for all the family!
Generally, Channel 4 has become more appealing as a channel, and if it continues to broadcast decent programmes like the current one’s, I can’t see it dying off too soon.

Advantages: Well there were some good moments.. Disadvantages: But the whole point of showing PITP is for the performances, cutting them out is like showing a football match without the goals.
