Public Service Broadcasting : PSB
In the United Kingdom, the term "public service broadcasting" refers to broadcasting intended for public benefit rather than to serve purely commercial interests. ... All of the BBC's television and radio stations have a public service remit, including those that broadcast digitally.

Radio 1:

• Every radio station works hard to establish and sustain a very distant sound and tone.
• The radio 1 audience is clearly addressed by presenting that are close to the age their main listeners demographics of 15-29
• Targeting a young audience the language of the presenters and energetic often using informal everyday language that may include some slang intertextual references to pop - culture .

Remit 

The remit of Radio 1 is to entertain and engage a broad 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 from the UK - and provide a platform for live music. News, documentaries and advice campaigns should cover areas of relevance to young adults.

Radio 1’s programmes should exhibit some or all of the following characteristics: high quality, original, challenging, innovative and engaging, and it should nurture UK talent.

The service should deliver its remit by producing a wide range of programmes that expose listeners to new and sometimes challenging material they may not otherwise experience. It should reflect a diverse range of new and UK music.

Radio 1’s daytime programmes should offer a mix of music, information and entertainment and use an extensive playlist to introduce unfamiliar and innovative songs alongside more established tracks. In the evening specialist presenters, covering a broad range of musical genres, should support artists at the forefront of new music, assisting their growth and development. A wide range of live events should be covered from around the UK and beyond and live music should be featured throughout the schedule, with sessions and concerts from both established acts and experimental new bands. Radio 1 should encourage its listeners to take part in music events and activities.

How have radio 1 met the remit ?

Radio 1 entertain and engage a range of listeners, for example best movies or the music to charts. The  target audience is 15 to 29 they bring new and up coming musicians in the uk .

Ofcom's role 

• Ensuring the optimal use of the electro spectrum
• Ensuring that a wide range of electronic communications services including high speed data services - is available throughout the united kingdom 
• Ensuring a wide range of TV and radio services of high quality and wide appeal 
• Maintaining plurality in the provision of broadcasting.
• Applying adequate protection for audiences against offensive or harmful material 
• Applying adequate protection for audiences against unfairness or the infringement of privacy 

What is plurality?

We have defined plurality as a) ensuring there is a diversity of viewpoints available and consumed across and within media enterprises and b) preventing any one media owner or voice having too much influence over public opinion and the political agenda.

Protection of under 18

• Material that might seriously impair the physical, mental or moral development of the people under 18 must not be broadcast 
• In the provision of services and broadcast must take all reasonable steps to protect people under 18 
• Children must also be protected in the form of appropriate scheduling ensuring that they are not      privy to material that is unsuitable for them .

 Media Scheduling 

refers to the pattern of timing of an advertising which is represented as plots on a flowchart on a yearly basis. The plots in the flowchart indicate the pattern of periods that matches with favorable selling periods.

The live lounge like show is going to be made for classical music. It will be running 4 days a week it will have short parts of asking the presenter questions via social media. The show would have to broadcast from an area with a higher population e.g Spain/France. The show would have to be aware of the standard midday rules set by OfCom, such as if a younger child was to end up watching it the show would need to be family friendly so anyone can watch it . The show has a target audience for 45-70 year old. The show would be broadcast at around 9:00am - 3:00pm as the target audience will be awake and ready to watch even if they go out later in the day. The general demographic for this would be advertised on the radio e.g BBC Radio 2 and 4, it would have segments of the news as that usually appeals to san older demographic.
