Television

When assigned to watch a whole hour of tv, most would be excited. But I don't usually watch tv, just never had an interest. So sitting down to watch tv was a little unusual. But one of the channels that I hadn't really seen in a while was MTV. I had forgotten how this channel mostly consists of useless shows. This shows are geared towards the teens that it attracts. The shows are mostly reality shows or stupid annoying game shows. The one I was watching even looked like it was scripted and it was really corny. Besides the shows, the commercials were also geared towards teens. They consisted of cell phone commercials, make-up, contacts, acne, music and anything else that a teen may be interested in. They also had numerous broadcasts for other corny shows that they aired. I did find one commercial for an alcoholic beverage, which was a little out of the ordinary for the audience. But I could see how some older youthful people could also watch some of the shows available on MTV. But for the most part I didn't find beer or insurance commercials, because these would not be audience appropriate. This channel was very geared towards teens and even mostly female teens. For the most part, the majority of the shows are generally attracting to female viewers. There is one that was about cars that I could see guys enjoying, but for the most part they seemed to be "girly". Simply not the type of entertainment a male would enjoy viewing. After watching this hour of television, it is very obvious that the media works hard on creating appropriate shows and commercials for the type of audience they want to attract.
