LO: - To explore how BBC Radio 1 meets its PSB remit and meets the needs of its target audience.


  • The Radio 1 audience is clearly addressed by presenters that are close to the age of their main listeners demographic of 15-29 (though Radio 1 presenters themselves will always tend to be aged towards the upper end of this age range or slightly older). Targeting a young audience, the language of the presenters is restless and energetic, often using informal, everyday language that may include some slang and intertextual references.
Remit
  • The remit of Radio 1 is to entertain and engage a broad rage of young listeners with a distinctive mix of contemporary music and speech. Its target audience is 15-29 year olds and it should also provide some programming for younger teenagers.
  • It should offer a range of new music, support emerging artists - especially those from the UK - and provide a platform for live music. News, documentaries and advice campaigns should cover areas of relevance to young adults.
Representations:
  • The artist
  • The show and its format
  • Radio 1 
  • The presenter
Media language:
  • Colour palette
  • Images used
  • Branding
  • Logos 
  • Graphics
  • Content

Look at the Radio 1 website:
