BBC Radio 1 is a radio station in London. It is a radio station that has a target audience between the ages of 15-29 living in Britain. This station is based of the latest tracks in the top 40 throughout the day. This music stations radio format is different throughout the day. For e.g. Nick Grim Shaw plays top 40 music from 6:30am till 10am which is mostly for school rides and work travels. Which is what needs to be played as the people driving to work will be from 19 upwards so there is going to need to be top 40 music playing to get you in the mood for the day. Also there will be children around the ages of 15-17 getting a lift to school/college so that is why top 40 chart music needs to be played.
Then at 10:30am till 1:15pm Fearne Cotton plays music which is mostly new music that nobody has really heard before and a couple of tunes from the top 40. But it does change at night because at 2:00am till 4:00am B-traits plays rap music which is mostly for 15-21 year old at party s/ just chilling at home at night and most teenage people listen to rubbish rap music nowadays.
The weekend music that is played is mostly the same as the weekdays but there is more top 40 music played on the weekend then there is on a weekly basis. It is mostly targeted at the audiences in the age range of 15-29 of people who sit at home and do homework, housework, just general sitting round the house and want to chill out.
I think that radio 1 is a good radio station for people in the target audience to listen to because it has their genre of music playing at the right time of day. Radio 1 is a radio station that is targeting a audience between 15-29 so that is why they play the music that they do.
