We were in groups of three in my group i was the News Reader and director, Daanyal was the presenter and Louis was the celebrity. We came up with our own game to make the show more fun and fresh and still show our group as creative. We interviewed Louis who said he was an actor in the new 1917 movie and we discussed the movie and how it has effected him. For music we chose Pee Pee by M Huncho as its a song that there target age group would like and we also chose someone you loved by Lewis Capaldi, as these songs both promote British artists. We started with a song then went to the news and then to the interview and game with the celebrity and audience and then played another song. Our target audience was 15 - 29 year old's because this is the same as BBC Radio 1 therefore we were aiming to attract a similar age group. We attracted ur target audience by playing songs that are popular with this age group, and by trying to interview celebrity's that would interest them as 1917 is a movie that lots of people maybe slightly older than 15 are interested in. It fits in to the BBC Radio 1 remit as it entertains with music games and celebrity and informs the audience with mainly soft news story's however it doesn't really educate the audience because of the soft news so we maybe should have tried to put this in. we needed to work on how loud we were as it was sometimes hard to hear us and also on trying to make it sound more natural and not scripted. However we did really meet the age group we were going for but next time i would make sure to make it sounds more relaxed and unplanned.

Radio Reflection
The task we were assigned was to make our own 3 minute slot of the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show and to include all the things in the show.
Radio Questions
Explain how audiences use radio differently. Refer to the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show to support your answer.
- Audiences now have many different ways to listen to the radio. Radio 1 in particular is listened by 60% of millennial's through apps for streaming and podcasts which are now on the rise. However 93% of millennial's still listen to AM/FM radio every week. Some people also listen through the use of BBC Sounds. Some people might listen to the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show for company in the mornings as it almost feels like Greg James is talking to you as he engages his audience through cheery chat to wake you up and entertain you in the morning. Other people may listen to the Radio to be Informed and educated about news happening globally and in Britain as they may want to be kept up to date in what is happening in the world. Others may use the radio for entertainment such as listening to the games and competitions and stories that are told by other listeners in the show or even by engaging in the show itself by tweets and calling in. Another way an audience uses the Radio differently is by just listening in to listen to music for entertainment. There are so many ways for audiences to use the Radio differently because the radio has its remit to inform, educate and entertain by having these three remits to fufill it means it allows them to have a wider target audience. This then means more people of their 15 - 29 target age should probably listen in.
Explain why popular music programmes struggle to gain recognition as public service broadcasting. Refer to the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show to support your answer.
- Radio One is a public service Radio Broadcaster this means they are made, financed and controlled by the public for the public. It is neither commercial nor state-owned, free from political interference and pressure from commercial forces. Through PSB, people are informed, educated and also entertained because of the remit they are set. The BBC Radio 1 may struggle to gain recognition as a Public service broadcasting because they have different shows like BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3 etc, that are all aimed to different target audiences and different parts of the remit. BBC Radio 1 in particular is aimed at 15 - 29 year olds and its main focus is to tick the entertainment of the remit, however they do inform slightly with news but because this is so sparse it mainly feels like a show to entertain people with popular music (mainly pop), new British artists, and also in the particular their breakfast show with fun games/quizzes and stories from the public or host Greg James are telling, this may make people feel like they are not meeting the Public Broadcasting Service and not recognise them as part of this, because it doesn't feel like its completely meeting the remit.
Another Reason that they might struggle to gain recognition as a public service broadcaster is because they are meant to be free from political interference however BBC Radio 1 is under OfCom which have a charter with the government that states that they aren't allowed to be bias however they sometimes politically can be and lean certain ways on topics because it's in the government's best interest this therefore means they arent successfully filling their role to always be in the public's best interest, which may make them come across as not being a public service broadcasting.
The BBC Radio 1 is not controlled by adverts and commercials because they are Public service broadcasting however this may not come across as they may not advertise brands or certain shows etc, but they do advertise other things going on in the BBC such as new television series, however as they are advertising their own company it doesn't count as them being controlled by commercial forces however it may come across that they are advertising to the public even if it is their own shows and this may have a negative effect and cause annoyance from the public and make them feel like they are not sticking to their OfCom regulation even though technically they are.
Altogether i would say that the BBC are sticking to their PSB, and to well informed public members who listen to the show regulry would see this however it can come across like they aren't always sticking to it because of the multiple stations they have who all fufil the PSB in different ways.

R1 questions answers
Greg James has been presenting the radio one breakfast show since the 20th of August 2018. the age range of the radio one breakfast show is 15 - 29 year olds. The difference between BBC Radio 1 and commercial stations is that commercial stations like capital have played 83 unique songs compared to Radio 1 443 which is musically much more distinctive. Audiences can access Radio 1 by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Radio sounds and any type of radio. They can interact with Radio 1 by calling in, tweeting and sending messages. Ofcom regulates the Radio and makes sure they are distinctive and they set the operating licence. It fulfils its remit by informing, educating and entertaining. Ben Cooper is not worried about the drop of listeners because the listeners keep fluctuating up and down. To keep audiences engaged Greg James Makes it fun by coming up with interactive games and topics that he can talk about with the audience. The programme promotes British Music by providing exposure to songs that aren't often played on commercial radio they also have 17 different schemes to help discover new British Talent. They played a lot of pop with songs by taylor swift and miley cyrus. They interviewed British artist Stormzy and they were playing a game and Stormzy was trying to learn the Jingle and they were talking about dunking fries in chocolate milkshake. Their were lots of news items like Kobe, coronavirus and sport news. They play lots of games and quizzes like the jan slam which means you can win tickets to the big weekend which is in glasgow, And then there is yesterday's quiz which is were they guess the animal sound to win money. The broadcast fits into their ethos of 'informing, educating and entertaining' as they inform people of the news and what's currently happening and educate them on these topics and entertain them by playing music and games and interacting to the audience. It differs from commercial Radio because it has its own remit to fufill and our controlled by themselves. The audience from my section is people who either like pop music or like stormzy and want to hear him talk. The Radio 1 breakfast show is very large and has drawn in more listeners each week, it has a weekly reach of 10.56 million listeners aged 10+ an increase from 10.25 million listeners last year.
