What is the difference between commercial and public service broadcasting?
A public serving broadcaster is owned and financed by the public. This means that the TV license that is paid by us finances all of the public serving broadcasters. A private serving broadcaster is privately owned and they have to finance themselves through advertisements. This means because the public is not paying the station, they can broadcast much more than the public broadcaster.
The public pays a licensing fee, to educate and entertain them. They want to know all that is going on in the world and the public broadcasting servers are there to bring the latest happenings to them.
Whereas a private broadcaster is not financed by the public and can broadcast much of what they want, within means of course. Private broadcasters have freer reign on but also have to make enough money on advertisements to pay for the station.
Programme name: Celebrity Juice
Channel: ITV2
Time: 10pm
Date: Thursdays
Celebrity Juice is a more mainstream TV comedy as it follows up on well known celebrities and is portrayed to look like an exaggerated celebrity magazine such as HEAT magazine. As it is more mainstream it will attract a larger audience which ITV needs as they are a private service broadcaster and need to pay for their own service. Therefore the more viewers the more they can charge for the advertisements.

What audience are they aimed at? Why?
Celebrity juice is aimed at students and young adults, this age being 18-28 year old. The reason for this is because there is a lot of sexual references, which are sometimes borderline offensive; an older audience may find this unappealing as they think it's offensive and inappropriate. However, a younger audience would most likely see the comedy side of it and wouldn't take it so seriously. Adding to that, as Celebrity juice is a very mainstream and exaggerated panel show, a younger audience would be attracted to this because it stars celebrities who are popular in the media currently and they play games which are modernized to be appealing.
Why are they on after the watershed time?
As Celebrity Juice has a lot of trasngressive humour, children need to be protected from the swear words and sexual language. This links to the fact it is aimed at an older audience because of the crude language and behavior.
Programme name: Peter Kay's Car Share
Channel: BBC One
Time: 9.30pm
Date: Originally broadcasted on BBC Iplayer but is now on Wednesdays
Peter Kay's Car Share is more of a family friendly comedy. It is a different, unusual sitcom as it is all set in a car. This contributes to achieving one of the BBCs aims; to provide original content. There is several rude puns but they are quite muted, this is because the BBC is a public company and cannot offend anyone or displease any audience as they are paying tax on their tv license to watch it. If the BBC get too many complaints eventually the programme will be taken off the public's viewing which means the BBC loses funding. Therefore Car share has a more easy-going humour, which doesn't cross boundaries

What audience is it aimed at? why?
Peter Kay's Car Share is aimed at an older adult audience, this being 30-50 year olds. This is because the programme isn't too rude or exaggerated. In addition to that, Car Share is relatable to an older audience because the whole show is based around commuting to work and facing daily life issues; it touches on Kayleigh being single in her late thirties and still not living alone, many could relate to this, whereas a younger audience wouldn't understand this struggle. Moreover, they play old music every episode which gives a nostalgia and allows them to sing along, this is appealing because it's fun for the viewers.
Why are they on after the watershed?
Transgressive humour is still included in Car share which would be deemed inappropriate for children to hear also it includes sensitive topics such as death, which a young audience wouldn't know how to react to.
