CÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½: The challenges of making children’s TV
How is CÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ keeping up with the changing needs of younger audiences?
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Academy director Joe Godwin sat down with CÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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 CÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and now boast a 13-year career presenting children’s TV primarily Copycats.
