Το φάσμα των τύπων προγράμματος και το εύρος της χρησιμότητας τους, όπως διαπιστώνω και στο υποκεφάλαιο 4.3. και για σκοπούς που εξυπηρετούν την ταξινόμηση, είναι τόσο μεγάλο ώστε να επιβάλλεται η θέσπιση των ορίων του οριοθέτηση αυτή επιτυγχάνεται εάν θεσπίσουμε συγκεκριμένα κριτήρια κατάταξης των εκπομπών που θα βοηθήσουν παιρετέρω στην κατανόηση των τύπων. Τα κριτήρια κατάταξης, όπως τα ονομάζω σε αυτό το κεφάλαιο, ποικίλουν αναλόγως του σκοπού που θα εξυπηρετήσει η ενδεχόμενη κατηγοριοποίηση. Αν για παράδειγμα η ταξινόμηση αφορά τις ταινίες τότε τα κριτήρια κατάταξης των ταινιών αυτών σε κύριες κατηγορίες και υποκατηγορίες διαφέρουν, για παράδειγμα, από την ταξινόμηση των μουσικών προγραμμάτων.

range of appeal
Or "breadth of appeal". It's a fairly standard term in TV.

I think the idea is that some programmes are "used" by a wide/varied audience in different ways, and it's difficult to classify a programme as "entertainment" when other sectors of the audience might think of the same programme as "informative".

: Ναι, αλλά επίσης "range of utility" (και, φυσικά, διάφορα συνώνυμα του "range").

breadth of usefulness
This is a bit more literal than Spiros' answer. To be honest, I have no idea what either of the two phrases means, but perhaps that doesn't matter.

range of uses
I'm throwing this suggestion into the mix because I have more than once seen "χρησιμότητα" used where "χρήση" is intended. The writer would thus be talking about the use made by audiences of different TV programmes. (That way at least the sentence makes sense to me!)
Peer comment(s):

Epameinondas Soufleros
: Good point, but "χρησιμότητα" is most felicitous in this case.

In Greek, I defer to you, of course. I just can't see that "usefulness" means anything...
