Locations: For my secondary research I found out that there are many specific locations that have been used, for example for the music channels there was Leeds Festival shown, Fusion festival, music awards show, MTV studios, studios for reviewing books and also London lights. These are locations that have been featured in the music and news channels, for example Leeds festival is shown on the music tv channel for it is involved with music and entertainment as well as Fusion festival and the music awards show. However, the MTV studios, studio for reviewing books would be located on the TV news channel for it informs, entertains and educates the audience for it is PSB funded. This means that the content has to inform, educate and entertain the audience.
