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. I have evidence in that my mum wakes up to it and will sometimes listen to it in the car on her way to work. Also when they play games with callers they always are around this age range.
