Sky Media - Crime and Thriller

Today, i performed research into the genre of thriller and the typical audience that frequently watch it. I used Sky Media to find my research and the website explains what kind of movies are watched by specific audiences. I was presented with many types of genres such as indie and family etc.

Sky describes its thriller / crime channel in this way: 'This is a channel dedicated to intrigue, murder and suspense. From whodunits to gritty noirs and gangster sagas, this channel is all about edge-of- the-seat plot twists and gripping tales of the underworld. Full of mystery, murder and tension, its always worth investigating.'

When researching specifically in the crime/thriller section i learnt that:
  • Viewers of Sky Movies are generally more upmarket than the average viewer
  • Monthly average audience is approximately 9.9 million individuals
  • It reaches both male and female audiences
  • A great place to reach all the family - 16% of viewers are children
  • Attracts a younger audience -  35% of viewers are 16-34

More intriguingly, I further found out that SkyMovie viewers are more likely to:
  • Be owners of new technology products such as Xbox and an IPod
  • Have broadband access
  • Be interested in fashion, music and clubbing
  • Take regular holidays/breaks
  • Have health and life insurance
  • Go to the cinema regularly
