Big John @ Breakfast

The purpose of big john @ breakfast is to entertain and informs. I know it’s for that purpose because Big John all ways try’s to make you laugh. He does this by making fun of the people who ring up. Not in a mean way he makes fun of their story’s when he ask for the to come on and talk about you express.   

This audio media product of Big John is a music radio show. It gives the audience information on the local, regional, national and globe news. There three host Big John, Jamie’s and Jeannine. They talk very informal and in Yorkshire accent. This connotes the host are from within the south Yorkshire region. A lot of the comparison they have are something to do with a conversation that they have had early. A good example of this is when Jeannine was going to get married in a couple of day. So Big John as a joke asked everyone how had a bad marriage and got divorced very quick call in and tell there story.       

The audio media product is a music radio show. This radio show delivers pretty much every type of audio media podcast but podcast. They play a jingle all the time, that is a man saying Hallam FM. They play about five indents per set of adverts. The indent’s are for a wide range of product from food to cars. The theme of their show is very family friendly as the show is on when parent will be taking their kids to school. There conversations are on the new and thing that have happened to them and what was on the TV.

The show try’s to influence the listener in to buying products and visit some establishment. It also tries to engage the listener by talking about thing that will have happened to the listener. Like when they talk about when their wedding day going wrong. They do this to make a connection with the listener.

The genre that Big John @ Breakfast belongs to is entertainment and informative. I know this because they always try to make the listener laugh by making fun of each other and some of the people who call in. Sometime Big John will make an innuendo but it is rather clean and nothing over the top so that someone would be offended. The informative comes in to it because they talk about the wealth, traffic and news. The news they cover is local, regional, national and global.
