1600-1800  and  late  night  is  2300  to  sign-off.)  For example,  figure  8-5  indicates  that  adult  family  members increase  their  viewing  time  during  the  early  afternoon hours. Further research indicates the majority of the viewers at that time are female. Therefore, you should program shows with adult female appeal at that time, such as soap operas, to meet the needs of the audience. Your making the assumption that an increase in viewing during this time slot is attributable to adult women is poor programming. Only research for you to determine the  demographics  of  the  audience  during  all  dayparts  is justification  for  your  programming  to  a  particular audience  type. Another  important  consideration  is  the  shift  worker audience.  The  size  of  that  audience  will  vary  from location to location, so it is up to you to determine the size and viewing habits of that audience in your area. The audience survey will aid in the determination. This will  play  into  your  programming  decisions  to  the  degree that  you  may  want  to  repeat  prime  time  and  other popular programs to meet the needs of the shift worker audience. This is especially true on large afloat com- mands. AVAILABLE PROGRAMMING Most radio stations at NBS detachments are on the air  24  hours  a  day  and  provided  80  hours  of  pro gramming from AFRTS-BC per week. The remainder of  the  week,  78  hours,  is  filled  out  with  live  pro- gramming  or  repeats.  Television  stations,  meanwhile, are  provided  92  hours  of  programming  per  week.  The advantage for television is that in most places it is not on 24 hours a day (certain AFRTS networks are 24 hours a day on the weekend). It signs on and off each day at prescribed  times  according  to  local  audience  and command needs and requirements, so there is not a need to fill the remaining hours each week. The 92 hours of programming  provided  to  television  stations  comes  in the form of shipments from AFRTS-BC and SATNET feeds. AFRTS-BC  Shipments AFRTS-BC shipments are comprised of prime time programs,  movies,  mini-series  and  specials.  Short  fillers and  children’s  programming  are  also  included.  As shows   are   dropped   by   commercial   networks, AFRTS-BC makes an effort to replace them in kind, drama  for  drama,  sitcom  for  sitcom,  and  so  forth. AFRTS-BC shipments come with Tele-Tips (fig. 8-7) describing   programming   and   other   pertinent information.  Tele-Tips  can  be  used  for  previewing programming  to  check  for  sensitivities.  It  also  gives  you information   concerning   program   changes   in   each shipment, show length and natural break times for inserting  local  spot  announcements.  Tele-Tips  are  also available on 5-inch floppy disk for use in the AFRTS Operations  Network  (ONET)  computer  system. SATNET SATNET is the worldwide AFRTS 24-hour satellite network. It is designed to provide overseas outlets with time-sensitive programming, such as major network evening newscasts, information programs like  Meet the Press, specials  like  the  Grammy  Awards  and  sporting events.  It  also  provides  breaking  news  coverage. AFRTS-BC provides SATNET program schedules to all SATNET  users  (fig.  8-8).  This  schedule  provides overseas  outlets  with  the  feed  times  for  regularly scheduled  program  material  and  is  updated  on  an as-needed basis. SATNET provides a closed circuit feed twice a day that includes the daily broadcast schedule, program advisories, the weekly sports schedule and other  information. One other source of material is locally produced shows. These include local news, community interest programs and feedback type programs that can give station  management  an  unscientific,  but  important gauge  of  what  the  audience  is  currently  thinking. Command information programs are also included. An important note on these types of programs is that they should  generally  be  included  in  your  prime  time programming. Restricted  Programming In certain areas of the world, programming provided by AFRTS-BC may be partially restricted because it constitutes competition with, or is detrimental to the commercial artist, copyright owners or other private interest   determined   to   be   competitive   (see   DoD 5120.20-R). Examples of this are NBS detachments in Iceland  and  Puerto  Rico.  Remember,  AFRTS-BC  is  able to acquire the use of programs at a substantially lower cost  than  commercial  networks.  Because  some  current programs are sold to the television networks in these countries, the producers of the programs restrict AFRTS from  airing  them,  thereby  giving  the  copyright  owner opportunity for greater profit. In areas where certain programs  are  restricted  from  use,  the  military programmer has to depend on the station film and video library. 8-9
