“…The on-air schedule is the top level of television's textual hierarchy -the "supertext" (Brown 1984) -and the kind of organisational identity that the viewers meet when they watch several programmes across linear television. The on-air schedule is described as "the architecture that combines them [the programme genres of television]" (Ellis, 2000a, 131), as a junction using a montage of "interstitials" (Johnson, 2013;Ellis, 2011) and as a montage of "paratexts" (Gray, 2010). Ellis describes the work of the producers of this text as "editing on an Olympian scale" (2000b, 25), defining a specific broadcast television service and making it distinguishable from other services.…”

“…The harmonic ambiguity and repetitive, undulating melodic patterns give the music a sense of never quite coming to an end; the musical structure is inherently flexible so that the ident can last as long as required by the continuity announcer. The continuous and flowing feel of the music also serves the ‘future facing’ function of an ident, maintaining the viewer’s attention for the forthcoming programme (Ellis, 2011: 65).…”

“…BBC Two’s 1997 brand document positioned it as ‘my BBC2’: ‘topical and relevant, diverse, playful, modern, challenging, surprising, able to take risks, a channel of ideas’ (Born, 2004: 259). ‘Our BBC1’ indicates collectively shared experiences; by contrast, ‘ my BBC2’ suggests a channel that caters for specific and individual interests (Ellis, 2011: 165). In 2001, BBC Two’s new channel controller, Jane Root, commissioned new idents to match the channel’s positioning statement and attract younger audiences.…”

“…Ainsi, 24h Chrono dans sa formule originale et imaginée par Fox -c'est-à-dire non visionné en rafale après diffusion -fait coïncider l'heure vécue par les personnages avec l'heure vécue par le spectateur (où 1 heure de visionnage est à concevoir en tant que narration purement télévisuelle, incluant donc les pauses publicitaires -comme le remarque J. Ellis [2011], la même série vue en DVD, donc sans annonces, devrait s'appeler 18h Chrono). Elle ne va pas cependant jusqu'à faire coïncider parfaitement les temps narratif et spectatoriel puisqu'elle ne diffuse pas ses saisons sur vingt-quatre heures.…”
