Match of The Day Research Project



Programme: BBC Match of the Day


 1) The key information about the       programme: 

BBC  Match  of  the Day is broadcasted every  Saturday at 10:30pm. The main presenter is Gary Lineker, and the co-presenter is Alan Hansen. Lineker is usually joined by two   pundits that analyse the Premier League football matches throughout the week. The pundits include Robbie Savage, Mark Lawrenson and Danny Murphy. All pundits are retired footballers. The average viewing figures are between 3.3m and 3.7m every show. BBC Match of the Day won the British Academy Television Craft Award in 2007.  The video clip below  shows the analysis of the Spain versus Holland match during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. 

2) The institution behind the programme:

 BBC Match of the Day is broadcasted on BBC 1. The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is a international public service broadcaster based in the United Kingdom. The BBC is owned and paid for by the public through taxes. The BBC is the world's oldest national broadcasting organisation. It also has 23,000 employees, making it the largest broadcaster by number of employees. Below is an advertisement of the TV show: EastEnders on BBC. 
                                                                                    
3) The target audience:

 I think the target the target  audience for this TV programme are football fans between the age of 10-30, I think the ratio between men and  women would  be 80% men and 20% women. I  think middle class people would watch this show and people with  quite a basic salary.

4) The running order for three separate editions of the programme:

The underlined team are the top Premier League teams, and this has helped me identify the fact that Match of the Day presents the best matches earlier on the the show, and leaves the less interesting matches.However  Manchester United are left until the 6th match, this could have been because the match was quite dull and ended 0-0 or because they should not even be considered a good Premier League club anymore.
