Television channel whose programming is aimed at a general audience
A generalist channel is a television or radio channel whose target audience is not confined to a particular set of people, but instead aims to offer a wide range of programs and program genres to a diverse general public.[1][2][3] The term is mainly used in European countries;[4] in other countries, similar terms such as "general entertainment" is used instead.
In radio, this is sometimes referred to as "full-format programming".

While the European public broadcasters are generalist channels, meaning that they offer mixed programming and aim to attract all target groups, the US public broadcaster offers more specific programming. Generally speaking, European public broadcasters compete with commercial channels in all genres, including entertainment and sports, while PBS in the US has targeted two specific audience segments: children and business people.
