LO2: Planning a script for a radio show

Onside FM, Touchline FM, Football First. We have chosen these names as they are all related to football (Onside is a football term, the touchline is the white line all around the pitch)

Stay onside for the latest football news (uses the term from the name of the program in the slogan - catchy), The latest news on the beautiful game, Putting football first (Directly using the name of the program).

Our programme would be aired from 5pm every Saturday and occasionally late on Tuesdays if there have been any weekday matches. 5pm would be an ideal time to Broadcast on a Saturday as this is just after all the football matches will have finished so people will likely be driving home in their cars which is where people listen to radio the most. 

The genre will be football/general sport

Press conferences, post-match interview, live commentary, fan opinions

Ian Wright, Lee Dixon, Lynsey Hipgrave

As our average listener is around 30 years old we will play 90's music and some indie rock (e.g. Step On - Happy Mondays, The Only One I Know - Charlatans, Supersonic - Oasis, Disco 2000 - Pulp)

Nike, Adidas, Puma, Lucozade, Trainline (as fans will use trains to travel to away games)

Style & Content

The name of our radio show will be Onside FM. The style of my radio programme is a football related talk show. We have chosen this name as "onside" is a term that is mostly connoted with football. The slogan will be "stay onside for the latest football news". This again relates to football as, in a match, footballers must stay onside to avoid committing a foul. Our show would be aired from 5pm on Saturdays and occasionally at 7pm on Tuesdays. This is the ideal time to broadcast a football show as the majority of matches played on a Saturday will finish just before 5 o'clock, so if people want to call in to discuss the football the match will still be fresh in their mind. The occasional Tuesday night shows would be broadcast when there are matches being played. The show would start at 7pm to discuss the games that kick off at 19:45. The presenters could be ex-footballers, commentators or others who have a history in the football industry as the high levels of football-related knowledge they have will make for a more interesting show. As the average age for our listeners will be around 30, we will play music from the 90's as this is the types of music they will be able to relate to most (e.g. Oasis, Blur etc.).
