Week 2 - Radio

I am going to be listening to the same radio show for a week and writing about the format, content...

Which Station?
BBC Radio 1, because it is the best in my opinion.

Which Show?
Scott Mills at 1:00pm every weekday. Why? Because it's funny with games such as 'Real or No Real?' and 'Innuendo Bingo'.

Who is on the Show?
Scott Mills is the lead DJ, and his assistant is Chris Stark.



The Format of the Show
The show is split up into 3 different categories: music, talk, and features.

Talk
The talk mainly consists of things about their lives or the common person's life, and get the public that are listening involved via text, call, Facebook, Twitter and so on... 

Music
There is a mix of music on the show, from the electro, to dance, to pop, to rock, and sometimes, the occasional 80s classic. Scott also gets people to use social media to request music to be played on radio.

Features
The two best features (in my opinion) on the Scott Mills Show are:

Innuendo Bingo - Clips are played from TV and radio that can be heard as an innuendo, to Chris and a special guest who both have water in their mouths. Water + Laughter = Getting soaked

Real Or No Real - Tweets are read out that could be true or false and Chris and one other Radio 1 DJ have to guess Real or No Real.


The Scott Mills Show has won 8 awards from 2006 onwards, two of them being 'Funniest Radio Show' in 2007 and 2008.
