Why is reality TV so popular for both programme makers and TV viewers?
“There is something for everyone in the reality genre.” (HILL, 2005) From this statement TV viewers in search of entertainment look for something that would be appealing to them whether it be documentary, sports, leisure, popular fictional programmes, infotainment, game-shows, talk-shows, etc. At the same time TV programme makers do their best to air and even create programmes to catch viewers’ attention to retain the popularity of that show on TV.
The more a TV viewer watches a particular programme the more likely TV programme makers are to produce similar programmes, so that they keep their targeted audience satisfied and keep flicking to that same channel. In relation to this once the season for’ Keeping up with the Kardashian’s’ season finished a while back, ‘Courtney and Chloe take Miami’ starring Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian – aired shortly after that in which I think was to keep TV viewers coming back for more entertainment.
