Converging my game show

If I were to make changes to my game show due to current audience influence, these are some ideas which I might pursue:

Due to the fact that people are now less likely to sit down as a family at 7.00 o'clock and watch TV together, means that our television program could be made more successful by aiming it at a certain niche of people, rather than the whole family. We could focus specifically on the humor of the show for those who the likes of Jimmy Carr's comedy appeals to, or we could focus more on the questions and intelligence of the show for those who prefer a more sophisticated approach.

Making the show available online as a program which you can 'catch up with' may increase the audience size as they have the ability to watch it when they want (as apposed to having to watch it at 7.00pm on a certain day) where they want (on the computer, or using a PS3 or Wii watch it via the TV - we could also add episodes to iTunes available for purchase so that money is made by the program this way and the audience will be able to watch the show on their iPod, iPhone, iPad etc, even if they're on a bus for example. Allowing people to access the program via the computer/PS3 etc means that you are able to make a profit from the adverts that you show before/in-between the show)

A profit could be made from the show by allowing people to purchase it or adding adverts in free viewings - which people would pay to advertise on.
   The prize gained at the end of the show could advertise the company which provided it. For example, if the holiday was a Thompson family holiday, Thompson would most likely pay to have their name positively advertised and would be likely to give the holiday away for free - meaning that the program itself does not have to pay for the expenses of the holiday.
   You could create an 'App' for apple devices such as iPhone/iPad that would enable people to have a go at questions them selves and compete against their friends and others across the world. The App could also allow them to become involved in the game show in some way. For example, just as on who wants to be a millionaire when the audience votes on what they think the right answer is, you at home could vote.

   They could also use it to get involved and be in with a chance of either appearing on the show, or answering a question with the possibility of being picked to win a prize. This will change how the audience consumes the show.
  A website could be used instead of or as well as an App in exactly the same way, to get people more involved in the show.


Here are some examples of apps that have been created, based on the game shows 'Countdown' and 'The Cube':
