Chosen Channel Even though ITV has the biggest audience share for the UK, I have chosen MTV as it has the most appropriate TV shows for people of my target audience. The TV channel of ITV is more for the middle aged class of people, this is evident through TV shows such as Downton Abbey, which is a period drama. I have also chosen to use MTV because as the audience share is smaller, this automatically makes the price to air my advert cheaper.
