Ch5, Does It Ever Hire Actors, And Make Programmes?
7 Answers
Most of the stuff they show is either, council estate family's, people on benefits, kids out of control, illegal immigrants etc etc.
Now tonight its, they say its new, Criminally Funny caught on camera, which most of its clips have been seen before many times, or just copied from You-tube.
Even the so called comedians saying a few words in between clips, aren't even funny.

TV stations simply haven't got the money to pay for drama series,etc.
ITV, for example, has seen its income fall by over 90% since its heyday. That's partly because there are now far more channels competing for a finite amount of advertising revenue but even more so because advertisers are turning away from expensive TV advertising and using alternatives such as social media instead.
Premium costume dramas (with big casts and possibly lots of special effects) cost around £1 million pounds per hour to make. Most other drama series cost, say, £500,000 per hour.
Scripted comedy might cost £400,000 per hour to produce.
Daytime quizzes might only £25,000 per hour.
So-called 'reality TV' might cost £50,000 per hour.
The figure above are based upon what the BBC was paying for programme content six years ago:

Channel 5 can't afford most of those prices, so that simply look for whatever's left within their budget - which isn't very much!

It was obvious that there would be a deterioration in decent programmes when the mass of digital channel became available. One only had to look elsewhere in the world to realise there is a financial resource issue. It is why there are as few things on worth watching at any one time as there were when there were just, say, 3 channels.
It has resulted in much more searching for something worth watching.
And, of course, folk paying for sport & films didn't help, as the money goes that way and they buy up a chunk of programmes for exclusive showing. One gets what one sows; grab a short term "deal" and discover the consequences later.
