Hello Maricich ,
Broadcast media divide the day into several standard time periods,
each of which is called a "daypart." Audience composition differs by
daypart.
?Dayparts tend to have similar demographic skews at public TV stations
around the country. While local schedule variations may cause some
straying from the archetype, the dominant public TV demographic in
daytime (7 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday) is usually 2-to-5-year-old
children, who are in the audience to watch early morning, noon-hour
and early afternoon kiddy programming. During the rest of the day,
many stations program instructional TV for school consumption -- the
audience consists of 6-to-11-year-olds and their mothers or fathers;
and an over 50-year-old, heavily 65-plus female public affairs
audience for the news programming."
"Prime time also has an older audience, but it contains viewers of
different ages that arrive to watch specific programs. Late fringe, by
custom, has a younger public TV audience -- 18 to 49, both males and
females, depending on local schedule options. ?
