The Commissioning Process

From 3 given BBC channels I chose comedy.

Summary of the type of content and overview for each channel and what it expects and how does it differ depending on that channel.
*BBC I is trying to look for gold-standard talent, top-drawer writing and the highest production values. They are making sure that they have right people on and off the screen that could deliver audience the content they want.
(For example: Mrs Brown's Boys & Citizen Khan)
*BBC II has comedy from the UK's most established and celebrated writers and performers. For the last 18months BBC II has created a home for a range of high calibre single camera shows, sketch shows and scripted comedy entertainment.
(For example: Rev & Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle)
*BBC III are bristling with experimental ambitions and creative confidence/ They like to take risks with new talent on and off screen. They are looking for inventive and dazzlingly funny projects.
(For example: Bad Education & Him & Her)
*BBC IV's comedy is a valued part of the channel's ambitions to be a lively energetic channel where the audience is stimulated, challenged and entertained.
(For example: Getting On)

The audience type for each channel of my chosen genre.
*BBC I appeals to mainstream audience. Their audience can see their own experiences reflected and celebrated in BBC I's comedy mix.
*BBC II is aimed at people age 20-30. They are looking for people who deeply appreciate comedy.
*BBC III has audience that responds to shows with a real energy and plenty of humour, that present the world from relatable point of view.
*BBC IV audience appreciates smart and informed comedy, often with a real world edge.
