TV drama (especially soaps) is considerably shown more on the weekdays, this helps us to be able to easily identify the type of audience of which it is trying to aim to, working class/middle class professionals. This is shown as the programmes are aired to fit in with the typical 9-5 job. With the earliest soap showing at 6.30pm and the latest 8pm.
This is before the watershed time of 9pm where viewing of TV is increased. The soaps are normally shown before the watershed time so it appeals to families. After the watershed time however more raunchy shows are aired for example hotel Babylon. Where swearing is allowed and more sensitive subjects are covered for example skins focuses on teenage drug addictions.

Convergence
Convergence can be looked at like a river, with lots of channels coming off it resembling different forms of medium.
Convergence explains hardware and software coming together across media, and companies coming together across similar boundaries, to make the distinction between different types of media increasingly uncertain.
T.v, radio,video games, magazines and newspapers are all examples of different forms of media communication also known as platforms.
