CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ: The challenges of making children’s TV
How is CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ keeping up with the changing needs of younger audiences?
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Academy director Joe Godwin sat down with CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ controller Cheryl Taylor and presenters Sam & Mark to discuss children’s TV and its impact on young children.
"We’ve all got to learn from a children’s audience before we all lose our audiences. What a nine-year-old is doing now is what a 25-year-old will be doing in 16 years," says Joe.
Younger audiences are increasingly turning away from TV in favour of on-demand and portable viewing. The panel talk about how to reach them and the challenges of making children’s TV.
Hear from Sam & Mark who both began their careers on reality talent show Pop Idol, went on to present Top of the Pops on CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and now boast a 13-year career presenting children’s TV primarily Copycats.
