This undergraduate thesis offers a detailed and methodical analysis of various television formats, focusing on three key categories: talk shows, news programs, and interviews. Subsequent sections comprehensively examine each category’s defining features alongside relevant thematic considerations.

The first category examined is talk shows. They are analysed based on their structural and format characteristics and content, often tailored to specific target audiences. The host’s role is critically assessed, with particular attention to the correlation between guest popularity and audience ratings. A thorough statistical analysis highlights viewing trends across different time slots. Moreover, the study explores the dual role of talk shows as entertainment and informational platforms, emphasizing their influence on shaping public opinion.

The second category, news programs, is analyzed in terms of their specific features, the importance of the anchor, and their relationship with audience engagement. The analysis extends to the role of news programs as critical sources of information, drawing comparisons with other television formats while identifying differences and points of convergence.

The third category is interviews, which focus on their structural attributes, the host’s influence, their impact on viewership, and their potential as a source of information. This section also examines the production processes behind talk shows, news programs, and interviews, highlighting their differences and similarities.

Additionally, the thesis explores how the content of these shows affects viewers’ emotional responses. It touches on the presence of public figures in television programs, the impact of time slots on viewership, and the influence of advertising on audience numbers.

In conclusion, this undergraduate thesis provides a thorough and data-driven insight into the various aspects of television programming and its influence on audiences, supported by specific case studies and relevant data analysis.
