You have written an excellent proposal. You have written it in the correct format and provided information about the name of the programme, the content and who would watch it. You have also said when it would likely be on the TV and the channel we’d see it on.
You have written in detail about the content of the programme and it is really clear what would be in it each episode.
You have included detailed information about your audience and explained who they are and what their interests are.
To make it even better, you could also try to use some media language to make it sound more effective. You can look at the Glossary that is in the Proposal folder in the shared area.
