LO3: Codes and Conventions of Genre of planned show

LO3 Codes and Conventions of Genre of planned show (Matt Frost)

The codes and conventions of a breakfast show is to be very up beat in the approach and the presenters
should aim to communicate this and enforce the ideal partner/ideal self. The show must be light
hearted and not to be to hard hitting or serious as it is first thing in the morning (however the news
section must be fully candid) and people want to be motivated. In my lo 1 research i noticed that allot of 
radio shows have funny talking segments which are based on everyday life i.e. dating etc. The breakfast 
shows will also always play music to get their listeners motivated. I also noticed that they often have 
listener call in for prizes or song choices, this helps to get the audience involved in the show. 
I have also noticed that in the conventions of a talk show there is a great deal of back and forth 
between the presenters, which keeps the audience engaged and listening it also allows for anecdotes and 
content to be communicated seamlessly.



How our planned ideas reflect these codes and conventions



By looking at the running order of our planned script you can see, our planned idea reflects the codes and conventions as we planned our radio show so that we were not having hard hitting content in our discussion section and we have put music at the begging of our show and will motivate people to get out of bed. We have then altered our running order so that the sport section came up before the news section to ease our listeners into the News section, which may be more hard hitting. We have also included a 'Topical discussion section, which allows us to fill our show with anecdotes and stories, which can be sent in by listeners and our listeners will find them relatable.
