Understanding Competition and Diversity in Television Programming

This research examines and analyses the diversity of television content. More specifically it provides an in-depth study of the development of television content. We attempt to study content through the concept of diversity which is considered as being a methodological tool that records and describes trends in television programming. Through the methodological use of diversity the rationale behind the programming structure is presented and therefore the structures that create and constitute the content can be shown. A detailed discussion is developed as well as a new approach to television diversity in light of the methodological examination.
