Radio Station: BBC radio 2

a) Programme Type	This station is on 24 hours a day, each show has a different theme for example Ken Bruce has Linda Gray choosing music from Ken’s lifetime. One show the is aired from 9:30-12 is Ken Bruce's show, Radio 2 tends to have a calmer atmosphere compared to radio one, Bruce's show tends to be about having people play songs form his years.  Another radio 2 show is called 'Steve Wright in the afternoon' this is aired between 2pm and 5:05 pm this show usually features an interview or conversation with someone important or interesting, however the guests are usually not celebrities and tend to be lesser know doctors, authors, figure heads etc.  From 6:30 am till 9:30 am the Chris Evans breakfast show is aired this show tends to be a little less formal than the other shows, Chris has his show this way to help people get up in the morning.
b) Genre	The station uses a little bit of comedy to keep away from having everything too serious, although the comedy is limited and the show isn't shown as too lighthearted. The news on the station tends to be a lot more serious than other stations, this means the news featured is informative on subjects such as major events or elections.
c) Audience Profile	Radio 2 tends to have a older audience demographic as they like to play a lot more older songs than other radio stations. I would say the target audience range would be between the ages 30 and 60.
d) Production Process	Radio 2 has many presenters such as: Chris Evans, Jo Whiley and Ken Bruce. They have a scheduling team that sort out the order of everything and the DJ’s choose the music.

Radio Station: BBC radio Cambridge

a) Programme Type	This station is exclusive to the Cambridge area, they tend to talk more about Cambridge news and information about surrounding areas. The day starts at 6am with the first show 'The Dotty McLeod breakfast show' this show tends to be more news based, as this is based around Cambridge in between songs they have different news segments including politics and sports. The show is very formal. After the breakfast show the next show is called 'The big conversation with Paul Stainton' Paul's show continues with the formal and serious discussion however Paul allows listeners to contribute opinions to the discussions. From 12-5 Lunchtime live is aired usually hosted by Jeremy Sallis Like the rest of the shows on this station its informative and serious, this segment is usually filled with a guest interview and music.
b) Genre	BBC radio Cambridge is predominantly news and factual, the show has a very serious tone and there aren't many jokes or light hearted comments made, this helps them reach the target audience of older people.
c) Audience Profile	BBC radio Cambridge seems like it has a older target range than radio 1 because the station seems to be based around their news. The demographic for this station is also confined to people who have an interest in Cambridge news. The ideal target audience is limited to people that can afford a device to  listen to the station with. The target age range for BBC radio Cambridge would be people aged around 25-35
d) Production Process	BBC radio has two different types of producers, one is an audio and creative producer who gathers all sound to be used on the broadcast. The second type of producer is a content producer who plans and schedules for the broadcast. As this station mainly focuses on news there isn't much of a need for DJ's/ presenters. The station has an overall plan for each broadcast, this is called a running order. this is done by the content producer, the running order plans how long each section is and what it entails.  The production process for the radio starts with the planning of the show this is usually done by the content producer, Then content producer will have a team of people that help with making important decisions on the timing on the broadcast.  Once the show has been planned out it's up to the Audio and creative producer to gather any audio or sound effects that need to be used on the show. After this part of production is done the DJ/ Presenter and any other important crew members get ready to go live on radio and then the show begins.

He plays a preview of the songs he’s going to be playing and he tells the listeners that a guest is going to be coming in. After he plays the preview he plays 2 songs consecutively. Once the two songs are over Nick re-introduces the show and begins to read messages people have sent to him on the show. He continues to play a couple of songs then breaks it up with more speech.

Around 9am he tells listeners that after the songs he is about to play the guest will be on the show.
b) DJ’s/Presenters	The show is named after DJ Nick Grimshaw and it’s an informal show that’s played early in the morning as people are waking up and are traveling to work. Nick Grimshaw is 32 years old who has been on various T.V shows like The X-factor. Nick Grimshaw’s style helps give him the appearance he needs to get younger listeners, his clothing is up to date and he follows trends, he occasionally has been known to wear regular clothing with a twist this helps him stand out the most.
c) Content	Music is played throughout the show but it is broken up with other segments. Music: the music Nick plays is current trending music to help keep people listening, he will occasionally ask listeners to request songs, this helps him communicate with listeners. News: the news on the breakfast show is played about every hour or so, the news tends to be the top headlines, On Nick’s show he usually talks about the latest celebrity news. Contests: Nick tells listeners about contests to win a range of prizes from electronics to event tickets. The contests are usually quizzes he plays with listeners. Callers: Like with the contests Nick will have people call in and request songs or just have general conversation, when people call in for the contests or to request songs Nick will ask for feedback on the song choice after the song has played.
d) Target Audience	The BBC radio one breakfast show tends to appeal to a younger audience typically people ranged around 18-30 years old, this is because the songs played tend to be popular with younger listeners, The minimum age for target audience is around 18 because to play any of the competitions or games on the show you have to be at least 18 years old.

Content Plan
Title	Radio one breakfast show
Medium		The show is a radio breakfast show that would be played on BBC radio one. The show would run from 6:33 am till 10 am.
Running Time		The show we are making will be 5 minutes long, to meet this time restriction we are only going to play around 20 seconds of the songs instead of the full lengths, the interview we will have will also be brief so we can fit everything into the 5 minutes.
Synopsis		Charlie Brett as the main DJ/ presenter will present the show; Kacper will be the news presenter. In the 5 minutes there will be a short game where a caller has to answer a celebrity question to win tickets for an upcoming movie. There will also be someone who will call in and talk with the presenter to request a song. Towards the end of the 5 minutes we are going to have a celebrity guest come in and talk with the presenter. We have chosen all these elements for the show as they are the most important elements and we can only use important parts if we want to reach our 5-minute deadline.
Details of relevant content		One element we think listeners would enjoy is the song choices, the songs we are choosing are current songs that were recently released that people enjoy. We hope by using some of the popular music people will want to listen to the show. The celebrity guest we choose will hopefully help bring in listeners, we are hoping to use a popular celebrity like Ed Sheeran to talk about his new songs, as this would instantly become interesting to any of his fans. . The game could also interest listeners as they may want a chance at winning a prize of some sort.
Suggestions for DJ/Presenters		The show is light—hearted so the presenter/ DJ will have to be cheery and witty to keep listeners interested. I think BBC radio 2's Chris Evans could achieve this as he is popular with fans of the station and he already has expert experience in radio presenting. News- the news presenter will need to have more of a serious tone to make the news seem like its not a joke.

Relevant legal and/or ethical issues

The guidelines we followed are the OFCOM guidelines.

Ethical:

The ethical issues that we could face would be that everyone currently in the group is a white male, as well as the celebrities that are going to be interviewed. We haven’t covered all ethnicities and only covered the male gender therefore this could be an issue for some people.

Discrimination:

The radio show is family friendly and appropriate for young children as there will be no cussing and discrimination. We will have to gain permission from the artists to play their songs during our radio.

religion:

To ensure that our programme does not disrespect any religion or belief, we will have no reference to any religious subjects.

copyright & Privacy:

We do not have any advertising in our radio show edit. BBC does not use any adverts in their radio shows, this helps avoid any copyright for our edit.

Protecting the under eighteens:

Because this is BBC radio we will not have any content that is unsuitable for younger listeners. Also when taking in a caller we will make sure that they are at least 18 for them to be able to participate in a competition/quiz.

Unit 55 – P4
a) Setting up appropriate equipment	As we were recording audio we used a zoom mic and a small tripod to keep the microphone stable. When we got the microphone we tested to see how good the quality was and to see if the room was quiet enough.
b) Following running order and content plan	We used the running order, content plan and script to record the audio in the correct order, this was helpful when it came to editing as we were able to take the audio already in order rather than having to re arrange the files.
c) Following safe working practices	We made sure there were no hazards for any of the crew to be hurt or equipment to be damaged, the bags for the equipment were put aside so they didn’t get in the way of recording and risk any injury.
d) Following production process	We managed to follow our production plan, we had planned for time to review our footage and re record anything we needed and this worked well for us as we were in need of re recoding because we scheduled for this time it didn’t put us behind in any way and we were able to finish the edit by the deadline.
