Radio 1 Breakfast Show- Self Review Test

12. The program promotes British music by playing the popular songs everyday, invites artists onto the show to help promote new music, speaks about new artists and plays games with listeners that include music.

13. Only 40% of the tracks played were British.

14. Celebrities usually on the show are there to promote whether its new music or a new brand they have made. There are more British celebrities on the show.

16. They like to keep the news stories light because when you tune into the show early in the morning it's meant to be a positive thing to listen to. They will speak about news and stories but no heavy topics. The news is announced every half hour.

17. The BBC Breakfast show always has quizzes and games that include guests, celebrities and people that call in. Its a very popular,  interactive part of the show thats always interesting to listen too. You can usually win money or tickets to an event. 

18. It fits into the 'ethos' of informing, educating and entertaining by speaking about many different topics. The show is real and the conversations are educational because they are speaking about real life things and by listening to people speaking about things can be seen as educational. This is also entertaining.

19. In question 3...

20. I think its for 18-40 year olds because they are the type of people to be in there cars listening in the morning or to wake up to the breakfast show. They also have younger presenters and "trendy" artists to keep it current.

Radio 1 Breakfast Show

podcast

What are the different responsibilities of presenters and producers? Assistant Producer- Fiona: Briefs guests, keeps an eye on equipment and keeping it level. Learns from Will and fills in any gaps. Have a music team 4am - 7pm programme music so not the same songs in the same order. Being able to be a nice guy as well as technical stuff. Roles are always changing.

What preparation that goes into each programme Looking through what's happened and trying their best to reflect it. There's a structure breaking down half hours into 10 minuite chunks. The night before - rough plan. When you get in - figure outwhere there gonna be, what time there gonna happen and how long your going to spend on each one. Sheet of stuff to talk about and pick when it feels write. Main show sketched out and then "list of hot food"- random less important stuff. Differs with whos coming in. If your asking questions they have to be the best questions. Fiona, the producer has to brief guests and tells them what they've been talking through on that show. What not to do.  

What's most challenging and most enjoyable about working on the show? Taking note of real life situations - funny things.

New production - new ideas. Always changing.
What are the team dynamics like? Everyone has to all get on and understand each other and what each person needs in that space as its a small room and everyone is close together. Have to be prepared, have to rely on each other e.g. team assistants. Work closely as a team. Mother and Father looking out for each other. work as a team to get everything right. Teach everyone to learn. Treat it like a job - then you all get on and have a chemistry. Trust each other, decisions to be made quickly. Know each other well. WhatsApp group. Told if it was a good show and when its not.

Studio webcams and social media have changed the audience relationship with radio by making listeners feel more connected. Also achieved through blogs.
PSB - Public Service Broadcasting - refers to broadcasting intended for public benefit.

They have to cater for all ages/genders/race/religion/class.

The BBC has a 100% PSB remit
