2.
Block Programming: On FOX Don’t Forget the Lyrics, a reality competition show, comes on from 8-9pm, and it is followed by So You Think You Can Dance, also a reality competition, that shows from 9-10pm. The CW also has block programming from 8-10pm with Smallville followed directly by Supernatural. Both of these shows are teen dramas.
Counter Programming: Counter programming occurs on ABC, CBS, and the CW from 8-9pm. ABC shows a comedy drama, Ugly Betty, CBS shows a reality show called Big Brother, and the CW shows Smallville which is a teen drama. Another example of counter programming occurs from 10-11pm between ABC and CBS. ABC shows Hopkins which is a reality real-life hospital show, and CBS shows a drama called Flashpoint. These shows are very different and obviously trying to appeal to different audiences.
3.
CBS seems to be targeting crime drama groups with the programs aimed at a more mature audience. FOX’s programs are more lighthearted shows that the family can watch together, and they have an emphasis on reality programming. The CW shows are targeting a younger demographic. They seem to want to be known as the station for the younger crowd. ABC’s programming is targeting people in their 20s-30s, a younger professional audience with a slightly edgier take.
4.
CSI on CBS was rated #9 and Grey’s Anatomy on ABC was rated #10 for the 2007-2008 season. They are both top rated drama programs but CSI is a crime drama and Grey’s Anatomy is a hospital drama. Both shows are on from 9-10pm so the networks obviously were trying to appeal to different audiences while putting their best shows against each other. So You Think You Can Dance on FOX was the #8 rated show last week. It also comes on at the same time as CSI and Grey’s Anatomy, but it differs from the other two because it is a reality show. FOX tried to go in an entirely different direction using reality instead of drama.

TUESDAY TV SCHEDULE
1.
ABC -Reality Competition
CBS -Drama and Reality Competition
CW -Reality and Drama/Comedy
FOX -Reality and Drama
NBC -Reality Gameshow
2.
Block Programming:
On ABC, Wipeout and I Survived a Japanese Game Show are both reality competition shows on a single network back to back. On NBC, Celebrity Family Feud and America's Got Talent are both consecutive competition/game shows on a single network as well.
Counter Programming:
Wipeout on ABC which is a reality competition show is on during NCIS on CBS is an action/drama show. Both of these shows are programmed from 8 to 9 and are different types of shows to attract different audiences. Also, Big Brother a reality competition show is programmed during House M.D., which is a medical/drama. Both these shows are programmed from 9 to 10, and CBS and FOX are trying to attract a different audience with each show.
3.
One similarity between these programs besides genres is that the programs appeal more to an audience that wants a good laugh. Either it be from Wipeout, I Survived a Japanese Game Show, or America's Got Talent these are all humorous shows. Also, one similarity between each network is that they all have some sort of reality show, whether it be a reality competition or a love reality, each offers a great reality show.
ABC and NBC brands itself with reality shows, which have been gaining more of an audience. Also, FOX has more of a drama identity whether it be with a reality or sitcom.
4.
2007-2008 End of Season:
#8 House(FOX) and #14 NCIS(CBS) - Both are dramas yet these two shows are not competing with each other because they are on at different times and different networks.
Weekly TV Ratings:
#2 Wipeout(ABC), #1 America's Got Talent(NBC), #6 NCIS(CBS), and #10 House M.D.(FOX)
Wipeout and America's Got Talent are not competing with each other either because they are programmed at different times and with different networks.
ABC and NBC are programming 1.5 hour reality shows during a 1 hour of House to appeal to a completely different audience. Also making the reality shows longer so maybe the viewers from House can catch the last 30min. of the reality shows. Also, during NCIS(CBS) every other network are programming a reality show. This is more of a competition between the reality shows if a viewer does not want to watch NCIS.

SUNDAY NIGHT
Lori, Tracy
1. Genres
ABC- Reality and Drama
CBS- News, Reality and Drama
CW- Drama, Sitcom and Comedy
FOX- Sitcom, Reality and Local Programming
NBC- News and Action
2. Two examples of block programing:
On FOX ,Till Death airs from 7-8:00pm, and The Simpsons airs from 8-9:00pm. Both of these shows are sitcoms and are shown back to back.
On CW Everybody Hates Chris is shown at 8:00pm and at Aliens in America comes on right after at 8:30pm. Both of these shows are sitcoms.
Two examples of counter programing:
On NBC, Football and Desperate Houswives are considered counter programming because they attract different audiences. Desperate Houswives is a drama while Football is considered action.
On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos which is a reality show is shown at the same time that NBC shows Dateline NBC which is news.
3. ABC, CBS and FOX all seem to have reality shows. Being that it is Sunday, I feel that they are trying to target families to watch these shows. All these reality shows are different and funny to watch. Also, I noticed that CBS and NBC both have news on at the same time. I believe they are targeting an older audience.
4. Desperate Housewives on ABC was rated #6. NBC Sunday Night Football was rated #11. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was rated #20. Both Desperate Housewives and NBC Sunday Night Football are both shown at the same time. One show is a drama while the other is pure action. I believe that ABC is trying to appeal to women to watch Desperate Housewives, because NBC is aware that most men will be watching football.
