Radio One Live Lounge
LO: To research the radio industry and BBC Radio 1.
Radio must be studied in relation to media industries and media audiences. Live Lounge reflects the role of Radio 1 within the BBC- to develop public broadcasting distinctiveness, in part as a response to the political context of criticisms of the BBC's more 'commercial' wings. The format reflects the regulatory need for the BBC to foster creativity and innovation. Radio 1 addresses a distinct segment of the BBC's audience and this is reflected in a distinct mode if address.
Learners must study one complete episode of The BBC Radio One Live Lounge, from September 2017 onwards, chosen by the centre. Learners need to study the set radio product in relation to all the subject content bullet points listed under the 'media industries' and 'media audiences' topics in the subject content table at the end of Component 02.
The selected radio programme must be a standard episode (not a special feature episode) and include a British artist and content promoting British music, including interviews/chat with the artist.
Public Service Broadcasting
In the United Kingdom, the term "public service broadcasting" refers to broadcasting intended for public benefit rather than to serve purely commercial interests. The communications regulator Ofcom requires that certain television and radio broadcasters fulfil certain requirements as part of their license to broadcast. All of the BBC's television and radio stations have a public service remit, including those that broadcast digitally.
The public service broadcasters are those you can get for free on TV without box or cable: Channel 4, Channel 5 and the BBC. While all BBC public service television channels are PSB channels, only the main channels of each of the other public service broadcasters have this status.
