Inheritance: You put a program on after a established program to get their audience.

Pre-echo: Scheduling a program before a popular program, to get audience that are going to watch the popular program.

Hammocking: Inbetween two popular prgorams to inherit the target audience from the popular programs.

Audience fragmentation means channel loyalty is becoming an issue.
