Students carried out a survey in which they answered questions to do with television programmes, including most popular shows and ideal times, if we were to set up a student television station.
The ages of the students who answered varied between 16-21 and 72% of these were male which may sway the outcome more towards a specific genre such as Top Gear. The results show that the most popular time to watch television is between 8pm and 10pm with 52% of votes, which is no surprise because the television channels are aware that this is a time when the majority people will all be home from work and school, possibly sitting down for a meal and ready to watch their favourite programmes such as X Factor together as a family.
Out of the students that participated 66.7% occasionally watch the News, what is surprising is that you would expect students of this age group to be interested in celebrity news but none of them actually choose that option and 76.2% said that they watch world news, I think I should take into account that people may consider world news to be classed as everything and possibly not mean world affairs.

The most popular genre of television programme amongst the students was Comedy with 76% of votes, after being asked what their top five programmes were, Friends, Hollyoaks, Misfits, and Two and a Half Men, appeared repeatedly. All of these programmes seem to be on at the same times on the night, from 7pm until 10pm, which is accurate to previous studies.
They were also asked what their top viewing channels were and again the same channels appeared with answers such as Channel 4 and E4. Finally we asked what the ideal duration of a television programme would be, Thirty Minutes and One Hour was the most popular times with 80% of votes between them, but anything slightly over or under was very unpopular.

I think that this proves people of this age group have a very specific opinion when it comes to the television they choose to watch with the statistics proving this overwhelmingly.
