Switching over … Fewer boys are watching shows on CBBC, such as Blue Peter.

The BBC Trust's has found that children's services are at risk as it's falling behind rapidly changing media consumptions of UK children. The development of technology has increased massively and had reflected on children today as they want to watch other shows, CBBC and CBeebies have become less popular for young audiences as they find it too 'babyish'. The trust identified 2.1 million UK children aged 4-12 who watch BBC1 however do not watch CBeebies or CBBC any more. Furthermore as the BBC knows the UK's children are extremely technology-literate and getting more so, therefore their tastes are becoming more interested in the new gadgets and trends being advertised out. The stories said are to be a ten year old a decade ago will now be barely satisfied than an eight year old.
- 2.1 million UK children aged 4-12 who watch BBC1.
- Younger audience don't watch CBBC or CBeebies any more.
- Children's services are at risk.
- Technology developing very quick therefore children want the latest trends.
- 6 to 12 year-olds having access to a tablet or smartphone.
I personally think children services are at risk, because the amount of young audiences that watch CBBC or CBeebies have decreased as they have an interest in other channels that view some Children programmes on other services. Furthermore the development of technology effects the young audience as they want the latest trends such as smartphones and tablets therefore children are able to access the programmes they want on there.
