I have realised also that I will need to decide whether I am creating a website for a Fashion TV channel that is only on at set hours or a fashion TV channel that is on 24 hours a day like FTV .
World Fashion Channel: broadcasts 24 hours a day and therefore the website needs to include a detailed playlist, the channel also broadcasts all around the world with an estimated audience of 1.5 billion. As the channel broadcasts all over the world I would have thought that the channel would provide different playlist selections for different countries, however it does not, instead the channel just broadcasts the same programmes in the same language.
FTV: Unlike World Fashion TV does include a country selection in order to select the accurate playlist for your language.

Analysing ELLE and VOGUE TV channels
ELLE:
Trends
Fashion
Beauty
Street Style
Catwalk
People
Events
30 Seconds with
ELLE also includes Related videos
Most viewed videos
Most recent videos
(all of which are displayed dirrectly on the homepage of the channel)
VOGUE:
Exclusives
Catwalk Videos
Expert Interviews
Beauty Films
Magazine Videos
Although ELLE TV has a few more features both the channels are fairly similar in content . The ELLE features are more specified into different categories, therefore if you were looking for a particular video it will be quick and easy to locate, whereas the VOGUE TV channel is a bit broader, which means that it may take a while to locate a specific video.
Both these two TV channels differ from the original fashion channels, obviously because they are focused mostly around the content of the magazines, to make people more inclined to want to buy or subscribe to their magazine.

What to definitely include on my fashion channel website :
I have researched a range of hyperlinks (things) that are displayed on most fashion channel websites in order to decide what hyperlinks I will have to definitely use in order for my website to be realistic enough.
Programmes: A list of all the different programmes is displayed, the programmes have a brief summary underneath them along with a few photos from the programme.
http://www.worldfashion.tv/programs/
Improvement : In my own website I could make a programme list that is hyperlinked, therefore then when then programme is clicked on it would leeds you to another page with more details and extra information about the programme. I could even add more hyperlinks to the page with backstage footage and photo books from each programme.
Playlist (displaying the different time slots and what is going to played at that time). The playlist usually displays the current week and the next week, where a calendar-like chart is used for the user to select a specific day.
Both a Playlist and a Programme Information block are the two mandatory hyperlinks, there are others that are important, however they are not as necessary/vital.
