Audience Theories: Uses and Gratification model

 PERSONAL IDENTITY:
The tv show Sirens shown on the USA channel in America, is a program that I personally identify with. This is because it deals with Asexuality as an real thing and, as an asexual myself, I can relate to it. The program is mainly for entertainment purposes and the Preferred audience is between 15 - 25. The Negotiated audience would be of older or younger people who laugh at the silliness but don't necessarily understand the jokes. The Oppositional audience of the series would be people who don't enjoy ambulance or police comedies.

INFORMATION:
The tv broadcasts of BBC News shown on all the BBC channels, is a program that I watch to gain information. This is because it is both shown at convenient times for me and also that it is my primary source knowledge on what's going on in country and the rest of the world. Its main purpose is to inform and the Preferred audience is between 15 - 60. The Negotiated audience would be younger children who are more intelligent or are more interested in the world around them, but also  people who have turned to tv on and just watch the first thing they see (with no real interest). The Oppositional audience would be young children who have no interest in what's going on in the world around them.

ENTERTAINMENT:
The tv show Supernatural shown on the CW channel in America, is a program that I watch for entertainment. This is because its a good method of escapism and has humour that is relevant to me and that I understand. The program is mainly for entertainment purposes and the Preferred audience is between 15 - 30. The Negotiated audience is adults who were around in the era that most of the music used comes from. The Oppositional audience would be people who are not interested in the paranormal or that are scared by it.

SOCIAL INTEGRATION:
The tv show The 100 shown on E4, is a program that I watch for social integration. This is because my sister and some of my friends watch it.The show is for entertainment purposes and the Preferred audiences is between 15 - 25. The Negotiated audience is people who are older that like the plot. The Oppositional audience would be people who don't like this kind of program or dislike the actors in it.
