Sky
What it is
Sky is a television broadcaster, broadcasting a huge variety of channels across the nation
It offers greater experiences from the usual terrestrial channels and it gives people a lot more variety in their television viewing; therefore being more entertaining for viewers.
Sky offers a wide range of new technologies; interactive services, online websites, and sky plus, in which viewers can rewind and record television programmes onto their sky plus box, enabling viewers to more or less create their own channel.
Audiences
As far as audience is concerned, everyone is part of it, whether it’s trendy teenagers, to little girls, to a happily married couple, to grandparents, etc. sky has so many channels and so many programmes that there is something for everyone, therefore appealing to all social groups.
These days audiences younger and younger are able to pick up a remote and watch what they want to and when they want to, they are able to use the remote to play games interactively, they are even able to go online and look at websites of their favourite shows. And the same applies to other audiences.
Institutions
The main institutions involved in sky are BRITISH SKY BROADCASTING and SKY. There are also hundreds of other institutions involved. Any independent TV production companies who have a show on sky television are an institution involved as well as MTV, or CARTOON NETWORK who have their own channel.
Advertising institutions can also utilise sky’s technology to maximise sales. They can target certain audiences by putting their adverts on niche channels with more narrow audiences- e.g. advertising toys on children’s channels such as nickelodeon.
Media texts
You can access hundreds of links to more media content;
Music- Robbie Williams single competition, MTV Europe music awards, Q and FHM television, and lots more
TV guide- on here u can access more information on links to new websites about most of the programmes that are showing on sky
What you can do on the website
Search through various different sky options on the home page; sky plus, sky HD, sky anytime. The home page offers you different packages and the links explaining the package they are trying to sell you- this would mainly be aimed at a more adult audience as they would be buying this.
You can also look at the TV GUIDE, letting you search through all the channels and programmes you would be able to watch. It also gives you television recommendations.
On the homepage you can click links to sky sports, sky movies, sky news etc.
You can also get interactive and change your own sky account settings and account details.
