L.O: To explore how BBC Radio 1 meets its PSB remit and meets the needs of its target audience.

The radio 1 audience is clearly addressed by presenters that are close to the age of their main listeners demographic of 15-29( through radio 1 presenters themselves will always tend to be aged towards and the upper end of this age range or slightly older). Targeting a young audience, the language of the presenters is restless and energetic, often using informal, everyday language that may include some slang and intertextual references to pop-culture.

Remit:
the remit of radio 1 is to entertain and engage a board range of young listeners with a distinctive mix of contemporary music and speech. its target audience is 15-29 year olds and it should also provide some programming for younger teenagers.
it should offer a range of new music, support emerging artists - especially those form the uk - and provide a platform for live music, News, documentaries, and advice campaigns should cover areas of relevance to young adults.
