2. Show Name
• The show will be called ‘Hardcore Hour’ BBC Radio 1, within a
fictional radio show, hosted by me called ‘AMPED FM’.
3. Scheduling & Running Time
• The show will be featured weekly, on Fridays at 11:00pm,
running till midnight and will launch on the weekend of ‘Hevy
Fest’, a celebration of hardcore music.
4. Genre & Target Audience
• During this show viewers will be ‘amped up’ by the thrashy
sounds of hardcore punk rock. Targeted towards young males,
aged 18-25, as they will be more in tune with the social media
platforms that the show will engage them on, and are more
likely to be fans of the genre.
• Females of the same age will be the secondary audience, as
they can still be fans of the genre, although it is a
predominantly male fan base.
6. Playlists
• The music played on the radio will be current and trending
with a few classics of the genre, ranging from the popular
hardcore band ‘Counterparts’ to classic hardcore band ‘Have
Heart’.
7. Scripted Sections
• Due to the style of the show, sections won’t be scripted and
instead the host will be given notes to stir general
conversation.
• However, scripted sections will need to be put in place for high
profile guests that appear on the show.
8. Samples
• For a sample of the show, please refer to the radio show on
my Unit 55 blog where you will find my jingles and sample
discussion.
