Can channels like BBC1 and ITV show any mixture of programmes they like?

TV SCHEDULES
c/w
Objective(s): To be able to work with ordinary numbers and numbers in standard form.
Your task.
1) To fill the TV schedule from 6pm to 12pm.
2) To ensure a balanced TV schedule (one programme from each genre).
3) To maximise the advertising/subscription yield.
4) To ensure the programmes are aired at an appropriate time.
Your group will need to present your Schedule at the end of the lesson. You will need to justify your schedule.
You will also need to tell us how many viewers and how much money you will make from this schedule.
Extension:
The schedule has to be moved one hour forward so instead of being from 6pm -12pm it now has to be from
5pm-11pm. Also it has been decided that the schedule must include a news programme. How will this affect how
much you make?
For our work today you
have the following genres. Soap Opera,
Sport, Quiz, News and Current affairs,
Entertainment, Home and leisure
