I have been listening to BBC world radio and Classic 105 breakfast shows with a view to compare and contrast the different kinds of presentation that exist in the world of radio.
On classic 105 radio, the morning breakfast show is more or less the same through out the week, while BBC does vary on a day to day basis. I picked a morning breakfast on the weekend with the Title BBC Weekend Africa weekend. My choice for the show was based on the fact that I am passionate about africa and of course would enjoy more than endure.
Though they are both morning breakfast shows, you can tell even without hearing the station jingle that you are listening to that chanel, and especially BBC
1.Content:
a)BBC When I was listening to the morning breakfast show on Africa, the content was very serious, more like talking about the problems of Africa. So of course it is a not so happy content which means even the atmosphere is not exactly that entertaining, it is more imformative
b)Classic 105 Wherease the content in BBC is very serious for the breakfast shiow on aAfrica, the content in Classic is extremely enetertainging with laughter and joke. you can almost feel vibration of life from the studio. It is more or less an issue of geneder and controversial topic.
2.Style:
a)BBC For most of the time I was listening to the show, there were interviews. Experts who had been part of projects in Africa kept speeking about the situation in the gorund. It was more of questio, answer and comment.
c)Classic 105 on the other has the interactive approach where the two host of the show are engaged in continous conversation, and also dialogue with audience in fom of call ins and such.
3.Presntation:
a)BBC: for the while that I was listening to the show there was no music other than jingles
b)CLASSIC 105 On this one there were varriety music as the show went on
In my opinion both these show are great but of course serve a very diferent targert audience. Personally I would choolse to listen to classsic105 because I can identify with it plus I found it much less offort listening to it.

RADIO PROGRAMME CRITIQUE
I had to change the BBC programme I was listening to as it didn’t have the same programme format with the KISS 100 programme I was listening to. So I am now reviewing and critiquing the Health Check Show and comparing it with the Big Breakfast Show at KISS 100.
HEALTH CHECK
Health Check is a talk show concerning health matters which affect the human race which is aired every Monday from 9.30-10.00 am on 93.9 BBC Network Africa. Its host is Claudia Hammond, a 39 years female broadcaster with the BBC World Service and BBC Radio 4. She is also an academic psychologist and author of the book “Emotional Rollercoaster-a journey through the science of feelings”. Claudia has been presenting this show for the past four years and from her presentation one can tell that she is very passionate about what she does. She is also well acquainted with the subject matter which is health and she is very credible as she is an academic psychologist. Claudia engages her interviewees in a debate concerning health in our world and on Monday the debate was- Which is more important in health, Staffing or Innovation. The debate was well presented and in a very professional manner.
Claudia Hammond has an authoritative, crisp and clear voice and her articulation is great. She adheres to the code of conduct of journalism as she is not biased in her discussions and she presents facts. She also allows each of her guests equal time to speak thus she doesn’t discriminate.
THE BIG BREAKFAST SHOW
The Big Breakfast is an interactive talk show that discusses current affairs in Kenya
Larry Asego is a male presenter who is also arrogant but has a strong voice. Together with his co presenter he abuses the politicians of Kenya
Mzee Jalango is the comedian of the three presenters who speaks with a Luo accent and his work is to make everything a joke even if there are serious matters that are being discussed.
The Big Breakfast doesn’t have any particular topic of discussion, as the presenters just talk about what is current in Kenya
When I compare Health Check and Big Breakfast, which are both talk shows, there is a huge difference in terms of professionalism. As noted earlier, Health Check upholds to the Code of conduct of journalism unlike the Big Breakfast Show. The presenters of The Big Breakfast Show use offensive language on air and they have no respect of authority. A presenter like Jalango never entered a communication school and the content he gives on air is a joke. Although the presenters of Big Breakfast are arrogant, they educate Kenyans on various current issues and put politicians on their toes as they make sure that politicians fulfill their duty to the Kenyan citizens.

Kiss 100's The Big Breakfast and BBC's World Briefing_by Priscilla Muiruri
So for this week i was listening to world Briefing-BBC Morning at 7-9 am. This show is basically about stories from across the Uk, News, sports and exclusive interviews.The show is hosted by Victoria Derbyshire. It has many reportes represented in all the mentioned regions. I compared this show with the Big Breakfast which is aired on KISS 100 from 7-10am by Caroline Mutoko, Jalango and Larry Asego.I preferred listening to Big Breakfast as Compared to world Briefing because the issues being discussed on Big Breakfast affect me in a way and they are close home. The KISS 100 presenters discuss recent issues affecting Kenyans and they make their discussions lively as they have debates and comments from listeners. On the other hand,On World Briefing, its basically listening to world news for 2hours which is quite tiresome as they are no debates or listeners calling in to give their comments.
