daypart analysis<br />

Tracking the amount of time dedicated to children’s programming across the five main<br />

networks provides an overview of the changes that have occurred between 1996-2001. In<br />

order to understand these trends in more detail data have been split into the following time<br />

slots:<br />

■ Breakfast (0600-0929)<br />

■ Morning (0930-1159)<br />

■ Early afternoon (1200-1529)<br />

■ After-school (1530-1729)<br />

Although some children’s programming is scheduled after 1730, in line with the 1997 study<br />

this time slot has been excluded, although the ‘total’ figure includes all programming<br />

throughout the day.<br />
