Institution.

High brow is beyond the superficiality and includes a message for you to think that stimulates your intellect. it is a higher level of thinking. More elevated way of thinking. (documentaries)
Low brow is not highly intellectual or cultured.a person who possesses or has pretensions to superior learning or culture. Simpler way of highbrow, superficiality (celebrity gossip).

Public broadcasting includes radio, television and other electronic media outlets whose primary mission is public service.


BBC1
BBC One's remit is to be the BBC's most popular mixed-genre television service across the UK. offering a wide range of high quality programmes. a very high proportion of its programmes should be original productions. BBC1 tries to fit in with the crowd and be a multi-cultural  company because they need to cater for everyone. they have to fit in with the genres like drama, comedy and entertainment. there are many tv shows that come on this channel such as eastenders, holby city and the bbc news. i think it fits in with the working class and ages between 16 years onwards.

BBC 2
Programmes that appear on this channel include things like Cash in the Attic, and Ready Steady Cook. I think the TV channels aim is to entertain and inform their audience as many of their shows are funny. Finally, depending on the type of show, BBC 2's average target audience would be working-class, around the ages of 16-50 and both female and male. 

ITV     
ITV host the X Factor, Britain’s got Talent and You’ve Been Framed alongside many more classics such as I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. ITV can pass for low brow because of the entertaining and celebrity orientated nature of the channel- it appeals to younger people more. Target audience: working-class, 15-35.

Channel 4
Channel 4 mainly focuses on soaps and entertainment.Some programmes that are on here are Hollyoaks, deal or no deal,come dine with me and many more.Channel 4 launched in 1982 there job was to inform and entertain the younger generation and older generation.they wanted to do both audience to keep the range wide enough.I think the audience would be for young teenager so 15-21 year olds and then older from 28 years onwards.

Channel 5
Channel 5 airs Big Brother and Once Upon A Time. A low-brow television channel based upon the documentary styled programmes. These programmes take upon a more serious look, in some cases they air programmes for infants early in the morning but this contradicts the serious outlook. For instance, CSI is often aired on channel five and they usually put on action/drama movies on the weekend for their audience.
