  How has the show changed since its inception? changed channel onto bbc4, a show that was criticised for being very middle class, aired at 2pm to fit around family life but now is in the day plus the spinoff is late at night. was more about domesticity after the war, has moved away from serving men. How does woman’s hour reflect the BBC’s values and beliefs? Why do you think the BBC moved to a new spin off format?   How does this product and its marketing appeal to its target audiences? (12) the show "Late night womens hour" is a show that airs close to midnight, and once a month. much like the watershed policy that has been implemented after 9pm for live television, by having this show air so late, it acts a form of regulation to protect younger audiences from harmful or mature subjects as it is assumed that they will be asleep by that time or at least not tuning into the radio that late. this shows that by choosing to air the product this late, it is intended for older aud...
