I would like to suggest the following kinds of programme for Teen TV:
1. Beauty pageant
Teenagers would love to watch beauty pageants as everybody knows. Teenagers care a lot for their looks. Not only girls love beauty, even boys take a long time to get dressed and make themselves look more pleasant. A beauty pageant would be very popular as teenagers would like to learn how to look better and know the criteria of being beautiful. This programme could include some beauty tips from artists or even have a short part which teaches people how to dress well. This way, teenagers could learn more and the programme would be more popular. “Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant” is a good example.
2. Game shows
Game shows are highly entertaining and could be a kind of instructive programme. These two aspects are exactly what teenagers like. Game shows could invite some famous artists to be on the show and make them do funny things. Also, in the shows, the contestants could be asked some questions about current affairs, social issues and literature. This way, teenagers watching the shows could see and laugh at their favorite stars and gain a lot of knowledge at the same time. Moreover, informative shows such as “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” have always been popular and therefore, this suggestion shouldn’t be a problem of low TV ratings.
3. Sitcoms
Hilarious sitcoms, for instance, “Hannah Montana”, could be the final touch for Teen TV as teenagers love to laugh. Sitcoms could brighten up a teenager’s day and let them laugh out with joy even on their worse days. Teenagers would love to have a good laugh and relax from the heavy burdens on their shoulders. Therefore, adding sitcoms to Teen TV would be a good choice.
