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 />
