BBC AND CLASSIC 105 BREAKFAST SHOWS by Esther Neema

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.
