Essay - Radio 1 Breakfast


How is BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show reaching, targeting and encouraging audience interaction?

A way that BBC Radio 1 breakfast show is targeting and reaching out to audiences is because when they are broadcasting, they host quizzes and games that are only accessible if you listen to the show when it's on air or on demand. As a result of this, those people who are interested and want to take part will tune in regularly.

Another way Radio 1 helps to entice the audience through various contraptions such as competitions and games that potentially done correctly leads to a significant rewards. The target audience is incorporated alongside with the music choice and genre as the audience that listen enjoy the music and tune back into the vast playlist or remixes. They manage to get the audience to return is due to the originality of the show.Radio 1 reaches to their audience by throwing huge events such as their Big Weekend music festival. The big weekend is music festival run by BBC Radio 1 that is held annually throughout different UK venues. Whilst it used to be the biggest free ticked event in the UK, it now charges a fee of £15 but is still a huge event where thousands of people still attend. This hit music festival is one of many reasons why the audience of the Breakfast Show is keep, even through the show’s rough times.

Another reason of why the Breakfast Show’s audience is always being reached out to is because of 
the show’s social media and how often Greg James and his production team and on social media, interacting with their audience. They have an instagram, snapchat, twitter and facebook page where they connect with their audience via giveaways, game shows, and links to the show. From here, the audience can react and interact with Greg James and other members of the audience via answering game show questions, taking part in the show’s wacky games and then replying and commenting in audiences comments and posts.
