      SCHEDULING

      Theories
      • Schedule: the pattern in which media programs are presented. 
      • Three Terms: hammocking, inheritance and pre-echo.

      Hammocking
      • The strategic placement of program between two other programs, positioning a new series between two very well established shows that appeal to the same target audience often gives the right viewers an opportunity to sample the new series.
      Pre-echo
      • program placed on schedule to come before a popular program.
      Inheritance 
      • program placed after a successful program in the hopes of inheriting some of its audience.
