The Tea and Toast Show - Treatment

Treatment for The Tea and Toast Show

Format
We are going to record this show onto Myriad and also broadcast it on Ustream so there is an online copy available.
Our prank call feature will be recorded onto a Zoom mp3 recorder and edited on Soundtrack Pro.

Duration
The duration of this show will be exactly one hour long. We will be able to do this, as we will rehearse the show before hand and time all the links. Also the scheduler on Myriad will allow us to keep track of the time.

Intended Audience
Our Tea and Toast show is targeting an audience of 16- 24 year olds. The presenting style and the features will therefore appeal to this age group. The show will be broadcasted around college and advertised on facebook and therefore will reach our target audience.

Synopsis
Our show is going to be presented by Sam, Adele and Amy. As the programme is music based the main content of the show will be the music. We have decided to play tracks that are modern and popular.
We have two features for our show. Know Your Lyrics is when one sentence of a song is said and then the contestants have to guess the next lyric. We choose to have the competitors making an animal noise when they want to make a guess, as this will add another humorous element to the game. We decided to get Millie to present this feature as then it’s different voice for the listeners and allows all three presenters to play along and therefore create more of a competition. We chose this feature as it allows the audience to play along. This feature is going to be live, as this will create a better competitive mood.
Our other feature is a prank call one. Adele or Sam are given 5 words that they have to fit into a phone conversation. This feature will be pre-recorded so that it can be edited so that it’s shorter and all content is suitable.
The content of our links will be informal and relaxed with subjects such as what listeners are having for breakfast.

Style
The style of the show will be informal and chatty. As the show has three presenters it will be very conversational with hopefully some humour.

Rationale
We decided to do a show in the style and for this audience, as we believe that, as we fit into the target audience ourselves, we can create an enjoyable show for this audience. If the presenters are enjoying themselves then the audience will realise this and hopefully enjoy the show too.


Feasibility
This show idea is possible as there is an existing audience and they are easy to reach as the show is going to be broadcasted around the college and the students fit into the age group. The show should be easy to make as we

Budget
We will not need a budget for this show, as all the equipment is available from college.

Deadline
22nd October

Public Service Broadcasting

In the UK we have something called PSB, this relates to broadcasting that is for us the public, and not purely for advertising and comercial purposes.

The communications regulator Ofcom, requires that certain television and radio broadcasters fulfil certain requirements as part of their licence to broadcast.


All of the BBC networks can do PSB and also regional channel 3 companies can too. 


These mean that the companies don't necessarily get much money for the broadcasts, kind of like what we are currently doing but if we needed money to fund out shows we wouldn't want to do PSB.

Other relevant audience profiles and figures

Whilst looking into audiences for our radio shows i also looked into other radio shows listen figures.

For example:

BBC Radio 1: 
- 1.9 average hours per head
- Reach percent = 29
- Average hours per listener = 8.9
- Total hours = 95,729

Classic FM: 
- 0.7 average hours per head
- Reach percent = 11
- Average hours per listener - 0.6
- Total Hours = 37,288

As you can see these are two very different shows and the general feeling over the rajar figures is that the younger shows generally have better figures. Meaning that maybe our Tea and Toast Show will be better.
