Television Themes and Advertising

Select four television programs that air at different times of the day or different days of the week. Keep a log of what products are advertised during each show. Be sure to make a note of the following details:
What is the name and theme of the show? (family-oriented, action, romantic, movie, Western, Comedy, sports, etc)?
What day of the week and time the show aired?
What is the theme of each commercial aired during the show?
What are the common factors that each commercial has with others aired during the same program?
Tip: DVR four shows and fast forward through the shows to view the commercials for your analysis!
Using what you've learned about audience analysis, write up a summary of the target audience you believe the advertisers are appealing to for each show. Discuss how audience analysis factors into when to air a commercial. For example, what age group are they targeting? What economic level? What educational level?
