Channel 4 is a commercial institution that is partly funded by public service broadcasting, therefore its channels are broadcasted to inform, educate and entertain hence why there are a variety of different programmes for multiple different audiences.In the week ending the 13th of november Gogglebox was the highest grossing tv programme with 3.18 million viewers - programmes such as Gogglebox are not featured on broadcasters such as BBC1 due to it being a public service broadcaster and it not being part of their ethos.
Channel 4 is primarily a youth channel with most entertainment programmes being shown past watershed, therfore the target audience would be based around the ages of 16-30 year olds primarily females due to the more feminine nature of the programmes featured such as First dates and The secret life of four year olds.
