It uses techniques like performance, narrative, gritty imagery, and uplifting music and lighting to communicate these themes.
This document provides guidance on the A Level Media H409/01 exam paper. It explains how students should approach each paper and how marks are awarded. The exam assesses students' knowledge and understanding of media language, representation, and contexts through analysis of unseen sources and evaluation of theories. Questions test AO1 (knowledge and understanding), AO2 (analysis and evaluation), and may require using concepts like patriarchy or evaluating theories. The two sections assess news/online and magazines/music videos through analysis of unseen paired sources or recalled set products.
Here are some key points I noticed from examining the Radio 1 Breakfast Show website and social media:
- Much of the content on social media like Instagram stories is very casual, featuring behind-the-scenes glimpses of the presenters in an informal, chatty style. This seems aimed at creating a sense of intimacy and connection with younger audiences.
- Hashtags used prominently include references to pop culture like #TBT and #ThrowbackThursday that would appeal to teens and 20-somethings. Language and slang used is contemporary and youth-focused.
- Diversity is represented both in terms of presenters and guests, reflecting the target demographic. However, content could still be more inclusive of different backgrounds.

Public service broadcasting in the UK was established in the 1920s to inform, educate, and entertain the public. The BBC was formed in 1922 and was the main provider of radio until commercial "pirate" radio stations emerged in the 1960s playing pop music. In response, the BBC launched new radio stations like Radio 1 in 1967. Over subsequent decades, digital technologies and new media disrupted radio as internet stations and podcasts emerged. The document outlines the history and remit of BBC radio stations like Radio 1 and how the BBC is adapting to remain relevant to younger audiences that consume media differently.

Curran and Seaton argue that patterns of media ownership and control are the most significant factors in how media operates. They believe media industries follow capitalist patterns of increasing concentration, with ownership in fewer hands. This leads to a narrowing of opinions represented and a pursuit of profit over quality. Media is controlled by a small number of companies primarily driven by profit and power, limiting variety, creativity, and quality. More diverse ownership could create more varied media reflecting a range of societal views.

The document provides an analysis of the music video for Emeli Sande's song "Heaven" through the lens of various film techniques and theories of representation. It discusses how the video uses mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, sound, and narrative elements to portray the struggles of working-class Londoners and suggest they deserve forgiveness. While some shots depict issues like drugs and gangs, the video aims to evoke sympathy rather than portray this group as a problem.

1) The document provides guidance on how to structure responses for Section A and Section B of the G322 AS Media exam.
2) For Section A on TV drama, it advises to focus the response on analyzing how technical elements construct representations rather than just describing them.
3) For Section B on film institutions, it recommends discussing the processes of production, distribution, and exhibition in British film by referencing specific case studies and films. Key words related to these processes are defined.
Technological changes have forced newspapers like The Guardian and The Daily Mail to converge online. This has affected their production, distribution, and circulation of news.
Both newspapers have had to shift production towards multimedia content like videos. They also face more competition in quickly breaking news on social media. Distribution is now both physical and digital, while circulation has declined greatly in print but increased online through free content.
However, their ownership structures and political values still influence content. The Guardian is owned by the nonprofit Scott Trust and holds liberal values. The Daily Mail is owned by the for-profit Daily Mail and General Trust and takes a conservative stance. This shapes how they cover the same stories and target different audiences.
Steve Neale is an influential film studies scholar who has written extensively on genre theory. He argues that genres are defined by both repetition of conventions and elements of difference in each text. Genres are not fixed but evolve as new works subvert conventions or combine elements of multiple genres. Audiences expect certain genre conventions but regimes of realism vary between genres based on their internal rules rather than reality alone.

Codes and conventions of music videos generally include style, camerawork, sound, mise-en-scene, editing, and stereotypes. However, these conventions can vary slightly depending on the genre and style of the video. Conventions create a structure for audiences to understand and familiarize themselves with different genres. Videos typically last the length of the song and represent the song's message through relatable themes. While most videos follow conventions, some challenge norms. The two main techniques used in videos are technical aspects like camerawork and symbolic elements like facial expressions.

BBC Radio 1 was first broadcast in 1967 to meet demand from pirate radio stations. It broadcasts 24 hours a day playing a variety of music genres and talk shows. Popular shows include Nick Grimshaw's breakfast show and Greg James' chart show. The station aims to expose listeners to new music and attract a young audience aged 15-29. Capital Birmingham first launched in 1995 and was rebranded in 2011. It plays mainstream hit music across different daytime and evening shows. The audience is primarily 15-34 year olds. Both stations use playlist meetings and music industry contacts to decide songs and attract listeners.
Radio production - BBC Radio 1 and Capital BirminghamSoniaP16
BBC Radio 1 was established in 1967 to play popular music appealing to young audiences. It broadcasts various show types across its schedule, including breakfast shows, news, music playlists, and specialty shows featuring genres like dance music. Radio 1 aims to entertain 15-29 year olds but also attracts some older listeners. It operates on a budget of £34 million from TV licenses and taxpayers, avoiding commercials. Capital Birmingham, founded in 1995, also targets 15-34 year olds with a mix of hit music, celebrity gossip, and local news. It plays mainstream pop but includes less popular genres overnight. Both stations use playlists and producer input to determine music selection across genres like pop, hip hop and rock.
Nick Grimshaw has returned from the Christmas holidays to host his daily BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show. The three and a half hour show includes music, interviews with celebrity guests, phone-ins from listeners, and competitions. Well-known segments include "Call or Delete" where guests prank call contacts, and "Happy Hardcore FM" which allows listeners to scream over music. The show aims to lower the target age of the audience for the BBC while informing, educating, and entertaining through British music, news, quizzes and games. It differs from commercial stations by focusing on its public service remit through the license fee rather than advertisers.
Commercial radio stations generate revenue through advertisements to fund operations. There are over 300 commercial radio stations in the UK that primarily broadcast through FM frequencies and DAB, including national stations like Classic FM, Absolute Radio, and talkSPORT. Public service broadcasting (PSB) through the BBC aims to serve the public through entertainment and information on television and radio stations, which have remits targeting different audiences. New technologies like online radio have revolutionized the industry by allowing listeners to access stations anytime through the internet.
The document provides an overview of the radio industry in the UK, describing its four main sectors: publicly-funded BBC radio, commercial radio, and community and voluntary radio. It discusses the various BBC radio stations nationally and regionally, as well as the three main commercial radio stations. It also outlines how commercial radio stations are funded through advertising and events. Community radio aims to serve very local communities and relies on a mix of funding sources. The document concludes by noting the role of the Community Media Association in supporting community radio and television projects in the UK.
BBC Radio 1 is a British radio station operated by the BBC that specializes in popular music aimed at listeners aged 15-29. It broadcasts both within the UK and internationally. In addition to playing current hit songs from genres like pop, rock, hip hop, and dance, Radio 1 provides alternative music programming after 7pm. In recent years, Radio 1 has expanded its online presence through platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to engage its younger audience.
BBC Radio Solent is the BBC local radio station serving Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. It broadcasts from studios in Southampton and district offices elsewhere in its broadcast region. Radio Solent plays a mix of classic pop, rock, classical, jazz,

They will learn to create music sequences for different audiences and incorporate additional elements. Learners will review their own programs and how suitable they are for the intended purpose and audience.
The document provides a history of the BBC from its founding in 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company. It discusses the early days of radio broadcasting in London and the establishment of the BBC as a corporation by Royal Charter in 1927. John Reith became the first Director-General and established the mission of the BBC to inform, educate, and entertain audiences. The document also lists several BBC radio stations and television channels.
The document discusses how music videos use generic conventions to create meaning for target audiences. It provides examples of conventions used in a video by the band SLY, including using a real-life setting to seem realistic, costumes everyday teenagers could wear to appear ordinary, performances to camera, and a fast editing pace that matches the music to engage viewers. The handout suggests analyzing a video by Little Mix and the Vamps using similar conventions of representation to understand how they appeal to target audiences.
1. This document provides guidance on the A Level Media Studies H409/02 exam paper. It explains how students should approach each question and how marks are awarded.
2. The questions assess knowledge and understanding of media industries and audiences as well as ability to apply knowledge, analyze products, evaluate theories, and make judgments.
3. The long-form question asks students to compare representations in two television dramas they have studied from different contexts and evaluate how contexts may have influenced representations.
Here is a possible continuation of the answer:
The decline in print circulation has had significant economic consequences for both newspapers. For example, The Guardian's print circulation has fallen from over 400,000 in the early 2000s to around 160,000 today. This has reduced an important source of revenue from print advertising and sales. However, The Guardian has seen online readership grow substantially, with over 120 million readers worldwide per month. It has adapted its business model to focus on online advertising, events, and a donation scheme to attract regular financial support from readers. In contrast, the Daily Mail's print circulation remains higher but it also monetizes its large online audience through targeted digital advertising. Both newspapers provide extensive free online content to attract audiences, relying
Changing social contexts caused by technological advances have led to a long-term decline in newspaper circulation. Newspapers have responded by diversifying into digital platforms like websites and apps to compensate for falling print revenue. For example, both The Daily Mail and The Guardian have developed their online presence through websites, Twitter feeds, and Facebook pages to attract audiences fragmented across multiple platforms and combat declining print sales.
The political context influences newspaper ownership and regulation in several ways. Newspaper ownership is concentrated among a few large companies, with the top three owners controlling over 80% of daily circulation. This concentration decreases quality and choice. The Guardian and Daily Mail differ in their ownership and regulation - The Guardian is owned by the Scott Trust which protects its editorial independence, while the Daily Mail has a proprietor who can influence its political stances. Regulation also affects newspapers differently based on their political alignments.
The document discusses three academic ideas related to media industries:
- Curran and Seaton argue media is dominated by a small number of conglomerates who limit viewpoints. Despite online media, major organizations remain dominant.
- Livingstone and Lunt say regulation protects the public interest but is challenged by online global media.
- Hesmondhalgh also sees media dominated by conglomerates who rely on popular genres, stars and narratives to reduce risk.
Broadsheet newspapers reflect the time periods in which they were published through their content and style. Newspapers from 1966 would have covered events like the Vietnam War and Civil Rights movement, while papers from 2019 address more recent topics and global issues. The format and design of broadsheets also evolved over time as technology changed how news was reported and consumed.
The episode depicts an attempted invasion of Britain supported by internal traitors. A man arrives by sea claiming to be from England, but alerts viewers to themes of spying and impersonation. The small town of Lower Bazeley is threatened by fifth columnists, mirroring fears of internal threats from WWII films. Viewers would connect the plot to fears of infiltration from the Soviet Union. While portraying an "enemy within", the characters and events are played in a lighthearted, not seriously threatening manner, meant to reassure viewers that even if threats existed, agents like Steed and Emma could protect them.
The document discusses the history and aims of public service broadcasting (PSB) in the UK. It explains that the BBC was the first PSB and was established to inform, educate, and entertain without commercials. When ITV launched in 1955, it was also given PSB obligations around local news and programming. Channel 4 and S4C were later established as alternative PSB options with obligations around catering to minorities. The document examines how political, cultural, and economic contexts influence what counts as PSB.
The document discusses the 1960s British television show The Avengers and provides context about television in the 1960s. It notes that The Avengers had higher production values in later seasons as British television competed more on the world market. It also discusses how The Avengers and ITV were seen as more youthful and daring compared to the BBC, and outlines some of the social contexts of the 1960s including debates around permissiveness and changing social values between older and younger generations.

Overall, it finds that while some exaggeration is used for drama, many elements reflect realistic challenges in teenage life.
Teenage stereotypes charlotte, kim and sophMrs Downie
The document discusses several TV shows and movies that portray teenage stereotypes. It analyzes shows like The Next Step, High School Musical, The Dumping Ground, The Kissing Booth, and Tracy Beaker. It notes that these portray unrealistic expectations of high school life and stereotypical friendship groups. They also depict teenagers as argumentative and resolving conflicts through things like dance battles or physical fights, presenting an exaggerated view of teenage behavior.
This document discusses how teenagers are represented in several popular television dramas. In Riverdale, some stereotypical characters like mean girls and jocks are shown, but the friend groups and interactions seem realistic. Pretty Little Liars portrays teenage girls as always needing to look perfect with makeup and engaging in mischievous and backstabbing behavior. Vampire Diaries is not realistic as it involves supernatural elements like vampires and witches. Insatiable and On My Block may perpetuate stereotypes of teenagers as violent, seeking revenge, engaging in underage sex and drug use, and being in gangs. Overall, the document examines both realistic and stereotypical representations of teenagers across different TV shows.
This document discusses how teenagers are portrayed in various television dramas, with some portrayals being stereotypical and others not. Some shows stereotypically depict teenagers as bad, rude, always smoking, or naughty and mysterious. However, one show presents teenagers as wolves, providing a non-stereotypical portrayal. The document examines both stereotypical and non-stereotypical representations of teenagers across different television genres.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

5. Reminder
The Radio 1 Playlist
• The music on the show largely play listed – what is going to be played on
daytime Radio 1 is decided by a committee
• Radio 1 choose around 40 records each week for repeated daytime play
(A-list records get 25 plays a week, B-list 15, and C-list eight to 10).
• Choices are partly guided by what’s already popular with young people
online; many older artists are not included as the network is trying to keep
an under-30 audience.
• The current Head of Music has been trying to get away from the data-
driven approach to choosing what will get played, in order to make the
playlist less globally homogenous and more distinctive
• The playlist also appears on the website each week
• There is also a Brit List which helps push featured new British artists –
again to make the output less globally homogenous and to make it more
distinctive
• Please note that since Thursday’s episode the playlist has already
changed
• https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/playlist
6. Reminder - Radio 1’s place in PSB
LINK TO R1 BREAKFAST SHOW

• Offer at least 2 major Social Action campaigns, supported across daytime
output and online each year, together with a number of other initiatives
• Please note that the above PSB requirements are spread across the whole of the

action campaigns (apart from oblique references in Sam Fender’s song about male
suicide) and no mention of any documentaries.
• The first four bullet points were met however
7. Reminder

challenging material they may not otherwise experience. It should
reflect a diverse range of new and UK music.
• Radio 1’s daytime programmes should offer a mix of music,
information and entertainment and use an extensive playlist to
introduce unfamiliar and innovative songs alongside more
established tracks.
• Accurate, impartial and independent news should be placed at the
heart of daytime output.

6 “Public Purposes”
of the BBC
9. Radio One Breakfast Show
PSB and the October 4th episode
• You are going to argue that the 4th October episode of Radio One’s
Breakfast Show did ‘entertain young listeners’ with:
• a distinctive mix of contemporary music and speech’ (Radio One Playlist
and the use of Romesh Ranganathan as celebrity guest, as well as Greg
James’ presenting style)
• Offer a range of new music – 41 songs, the vast majority taken from this
year and over 80% of the music was from the Playlist)
• Support emerging artists - especially those from the UK – Greg James’s
song of the week – Sam Fender with Dead Boys and the winner of BBC’s
Sound of 2017 – Ray BLK with Run Run
• Provide a platform for live music – Radio Stings and continuous mentions
of Radio One’s Teen Awards and Radio One Xtra’s Live Lounge
• News which cover areas of relevance to young adults (the sad death of a
girl at a music festival, strikes by workers at McDonalds – as well as
sporting information)
10. Radio One Breakfast Show
October 4th 2018
• The Radio One Breakfast Show did nurture UK talent (Radio One Playlist +
51% of all music on the show was from the UK)
• The Radio One Breakfast Show did expose listeners to new and
sometimes challenging material they may not otherwise experience
(Sam Fender and Ray BLK)
• The Radio One Breakfast Show did reflect a diverse range of new UK
music (Check out the songs played on the show )
• The Radio One Breakfast Show did offer a mix of music, information and
entertainment which uses an extensive playlist to introduce unfamiliar
and innovative songs alongside more established tracks (Again check out
the songs played + the news items + the fact that they also mentioned The
Licence Fee at one point in the show)
• The Radio One Breakfast Show did offer accurate, impartial and
independent news which was placed at the heart of daytime output
(6.30am, 7.00am, 7.30am, 8.00am, 9.00am)
11. BUT
• New and more challenging music was played after
9.00am – majority of listeners were now at work?
• There was no news from 8.00am and 9.00am
• Between 8.00am and 9.00am the use of celebrity
interviews and the most popular segments of the show
‘unpopular opinion’ are used alongside no news to try
and appeal to the same audience as commercial radio
– the fact that both Ray BLK and Sam Fender was
played after 9.00am must be noted
• Does competition from Commercial radio mean that
the 8.00am – 9.00am slot is different?
13. Context – Star Guest on the show
Romesh Ranganathan
• Romesh Ranganathan is a British
stand-up comedian and actor.
• He is known for his deadpan
sarcastic humour
• He has made multiple
appearances on comedy panel
shows like The Apprentice: You're
Fired!, and was formerly a regular
on Play to the Whistle
• In 2016, he completed his first
major tour, Irrational Live, in
which he performed in some
iconic venues such as the
Hammersmith Apollo.
• He was on the show to promote
his autobiography ‘Straight Outta
Crawley’
14. Linking the guest to BBC Radio One’s Remit
Representing the UK, its nations, regions, communities
• Romesh, as a member of the Hindu faith, fits one of
the BBC’s Public Purposes that is that listeners and
users can rely on the BBC to reflect the many
communities that exist in the UK
• Romesh fits that bill and although nothing is made of
his faith in the programme, the fact that Romesh
joined Radio 1’s phone lines for the majority of his time
on the show means that some of the audience will be
able to interact with a person who represents a
different faith.
• https://twitter.com/gregjames/status/1047744837259

15. Greg James
The Presenter’s style – Reminder -
• Deliberately targeting a younger audience, Greg James is well aware
that pop stars and in the case of today’s programme a comedian are
now superbrands that can communicate directly with their
audience and therefore tailor their public image without the
mediators of the media.
• Greg James’ job is thus to gently prod at the humans beneath the
facade, encouraging them to laugh at themselves and show their
more endearing qualities. With pop stars arriving from any number
of different destinations – Disney, YouTube, reality shows – James’
approach is one of light humour which befits the early morning
audience.
• “The listeners have become like mates…They're always front and
centre and this will of course be the case on the new breakfast
show. It's going to be the most enjoyable challenge I've ever
undertaken and I can't wait to get started.“
16. ‘Gregulars’
• ‘I just briefly thought
that calling people that
listen to the show
everyday ‘Gregulars’
was a good idea and
that means I need to go
to bed immediately bye’
• Twitter Sept 19th 2018
• Also on Instagram –
same day
17. Talking with Romesh
• This gentle style of humour is evident on the case study show.
• Being a comedian, Romesh needs little prompting from Greg James
in being witty and the vast majority of his show’s appearance is one
of relaying anecdotes from his time on Radio One’s phone lines – a
good example of this is when Romesh talks with a PE teacher who
admits that the spare kit box in schools is never washed.
• The longer interview with Romesh about his new autobiography is
also relaxed and is mostly about Romesh’s mum is excited about
him coming back to his home town’s Waterstones to do a book
signing – Greg saying that she may also set up a stall next to him
selling her own products
• Link to Radio as a medium
• The intimate medium: radio is very personal. Listening to the radio
can feel like being in a conversation shared only by oneself and the
presenter and it encourages intimacy through its direct mode of
address.
18. The use of talk during the show
• Chat during the show was light-hearted, one example was when
Greg James interviewed fellow Radio One DJ Jordan about one his
Instagram story ‘A Day in the life of a DJ’ where Greg noticed that
Jordan had used ‘instant coffee from a jar’ when he used a ‘posh
cafieteier’ instead of ‘the expensive coffee you get in those shiny
sealed bags.’ This led to viewers texting in telling stories about
coffee use, including Kim from London who left her coffee on the
top of her car and then accidently drove off
• The companion medium: the radio format provides a strong sense
of personal communication and a direct mode of address for the
audience. It also offers lots of interactive opportunities, from
phone ins to texts, emails and tweets which get read out on air.
Listeners can get a ‘shout out’ or a ‘mention’ in a talk programme
which makes them feel more directly involved. Likewise some
programmes offer listeners the opportunity to air their views or
select music to be played.
19. Recurring Feature on the show
Cabbages (Radio as undemanding)
• In the same way that #passthepasty became famous a few weeks ago the
use of cabbages as a running theme in this episode of the show was used
as an entertaining running joke about how cabbages bring bad luck
• This was prompted by Aston Villa’s manager Steve Bruce having a cabbage
thrown at him for being useless at his job – he was subsequently sacked
and the running joke on the show was how cabbages brought bad luck
• The main focus of this running joke was focused on Miller – a lorry driver –
who was talked to live because the day before he was driving around the
country with twenty tonnes of cabbages – he talked about breaking down
twice and an anecdote where he was challenged by Greg James to leave a
cabbage on someone’s front door to bring them bad luck
• Miller did this to a man who had a go at him when he was parked up
waiting for the rescue services to come to him – at night he sneaked up to
his door and left a cabbage there for bad luck
• The undemanding medium: it allows audiences to do other things whilst
listening, such as writing essays, doing housework, driving cars etc. A
listener doesn’t need to devote their time entirely to the platform.
20. Linking this to #passthepasty
• When one of the listeners mentioned she had not
eaten a Cornish pasty, one was fetched for her
from Cornwall to Scotland in the form of an
Olympic Torch Relay
• This went viral

Linking these stories to Radio One’s Remit
• Bringing the UK to the world and the world to the UK
• The BBC will build a global understanding of international issues
and broaden UK audiences' experience of different cultures
• Sustaining citizenship and civil society
• The BBC provides high-quality news, current affairs and factual
programming to engage its viewers, listeners and users in important
current and political issues - impartial –
• If you look at the two above mentioned Public Purposes of the BBC
then you will see that the news items do indeed build a global
understanding of international issues (The govt attacking Russia and
the support for victims of the Indonesian Earthquake) as well as
some high quality news which fits the demographic of the 15-29
audience – especially the strike by Uber staff, Charlie Sloth leaving
Radio One Xtra and the death of the girl at a music festival.
23. What was missing?
Tailoring the news content to the right audience
• Details of the
Conservative Party
Conference – this was the
main news item on the
BBC news that night

mentioned on the show
was when Greg talked
about Theresa May’s
‘dance moves’ and her
appearance with Philip
Schofield on This Morning
24. The Songs played on the show

30. Linking these songs to Radio 1’s remit
• 51% of the songs are British – this is set against Radio One’s
remit to play 40% British music
• Over 80% of the music came from Radio One’s Playlist from
that week – this playlist has already been updated for this
week and is updated every week
• Some discrepancies in the music came from the ‘10 minute
takeover’ where listeners are picked at random to choose
the songs – this led to Sunchyme to be played (a song from
1998) as well as the Pretender from Foo Fighters – both
these songs suggest that the demographic for the listeners
may not necessarily be 29 and under
• The song Missing U by Robyn was played in honour of
Charlie Sloth leaving Radio One Xtra after 10 years
31. Ray BLK
Winner of BBC Sound 2017

-ray-blk
Radio One’s PSB has to expose listeners to new and sometimes challenging
material they may not otherwise experience.
• Ray didn’t come from a musical background, but educated herself by
watching MTV Base, grime station Channel U, and listening to Missy Elliott,
Lil Kim and The Notorious B.I.G.
• Her stage surname BLK stands for Building Living Knowing, which she
describes as her three main values, and she says she wants to connect to
fans through her lyrics.
• “It’s important to stand for something, to have my music stand for
something,” she says, something which is much evident in My Hood, her
collaboration with Stormzy. A frank account of her upbringing in
Lewisham, it balances grim portrayals of daily struggle with a message of
positivity: “On these streets, through concrete, flowers grow”

32. Greg James supporting Sam Fender
Tune of the week = Dead Boys
• Radio One’s PSB has to expose listeners to new and sometimes
challenging material they may not otherwise experience.
• Sam Fender has spoken out about mental health, tackling ‘toxic
masculinity’ and the inspiration behind his new single ‘Dead Boys’.
• “It’s a song about male suicide, particularly in my hometown,” “I
lost some friends very close to me because of that. This song came
from that place, and I have been playing it to other people ever
since. It’s raised a conversation and I realised how much of a
present issue it is. Everybody that I spoke to from all different parts
of the country have all got a connection to someone they’ve lost.
• “It really opened my eyes to how much of an issue it is. If it gets to
one person and they feel like they should reach out and talk to
somebody, then it has done a good job

33. Synergy
The use of Radio stings throughout the show
• A sting, sometimes called a sounder, is a short musical phrase, primarily
used in radio broadcasting as a form of punctuation. For example, a sting
might be used to introduce a regular section of a show – ‘Radio 1
Breakfast Show with Greg James’ being the one most heard during this
episode. We also heard stings for the following:
• Scott Mills, The Radio One Teen Awards, Annie Mac
• These stings took place on average six times every hour during the three
and half hour show and all of them related in some way to Radio One
programming.
• This process is called synergy because Radio One are promoting other
programmes on their station as well as the one we are listening to right
now – this form of promotion is called synergy because Radio One is using
one of its own programmes (Radio One Breakfast Show) to advertise its
other shows (Radio One Live Lounge for example) – Obviously this is
because it is not funded by advertising so all the promotion in the show –
apart from publicity for Romesh’s new autobiography is linked to other
BBC programming
34. The Quiz - Synergy
‘Yesterday’s Quiz’
• This form of synergy can also be linked to the
interactive quiz element of the show where for this
week flat mates competed on each day of the show to
see which of them could remember the most about
what happened in the news and on television the
previous day
• Interestingly the majority of the questions put to Kyle
(the contestant) related to the BBC or Radio One
programming – there were references to The
Bodyguard, Charlie Sloth, Dr Who and Radio One’s
Teen Awards for example – indeed Greg James signed
off the segment with the phrase ‘like The Bodyguard
this is also good drama from the BBC’
35. Radio One Teen Awards
Linking to Radio One’s remit
• https://twitter.com/BBCR1/status/1040268893569339393
• Radio One has to feature coverage of at least 10 festivals and significant
live events in the UK and abroad each year so as part of that remit it
organizes this event which is only open to 14-17 year olds – again this fits
the demographic of the show and provides this audience with what could
be their first taste of a music festival in one day
• A lot of the acts on the bill are also on the Radio One Playlist and the
inclusion of Little Mix as headliners ensures that tickets for the show will
sell
• Radio One will also obviously cover the show live and the whole event is
hosted by such hosts as Greg James – this provides synergy between the
show and Radio One – in that way the attendees on the show are
reminded that the concert is part of Radio One and not just a festival in its
own right – ‘trail of breadcrumbs’
• Greg James kept mentioning throughout the show that listeners could win
tickets for the event but only if they listened to the show the next day at
7am – obviously this was used to secure a returning audience
36. Greg James
Talking about Yesterday’s events
• Alison James pushed a guy off the weather map
• Theresa May appeared in a comedy skit with
Philip Schofield
• Theresa May’s dancing at the Conservative
Conference
• Radio 1 Xtra DJ Charlie Sloth leaving the station
• Instagram story about Rita Ora and straws
• https://twitter.com/BBCR1/status/104774836013

37. ‘Unpopular Opinion’
• The Bodyguard was overhyped garbage
• Ed Sheeran is overrated and overplayed
• Cold toast is better than hot toast
• Milk in cereal is wrong
• Egg whites are better than egg yolks
• The blind medium: since it only involves the sense of
hearing and not seeing it can be considered to let the
audience use their imagination a great deal more than
the visual mediums.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esukUkYco08
38. ‘The 10 Minute Takeover’
• https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08gwqz
1/segments
• Listeners are allowed to choose three songs –
this obviously adds to the interactive aspect of
the show and the choices of songs, especially
Dario G’s 1998 song Sunchyme suggests that
the demographic of Radio One Breakfast Show
may not be necessarily under 29
