2126947, as an undergrad, I took a TV Programming course* Posted by KosherSam, Wed Feb-06-13 01:37 PM
*as in, being someone who decides what programs to air and when, not like how to work a tv.
On the first day of class, the professor asked us what the purpose of television programming was. after a few answers about entertainment, culture, etc from the class, he said "you're all wrong. the purpose of television programs is to deliver an audience to an advertiser. every show that is selected to go on the air is done with the purpose of attracting a specific audience that a group of advertisers will be attracted to"
