M1: ANALYSE THE STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF A PROGRAMME BROADCAST BY A CHOSEN RADIO STATION
Rinse FM - SKVibeMaker "Nothing but Vibes"
Structure SKVibermarket is the main presenter of this show. Within the radio show he plays hip hop and grime music and features entertaining segments. Every 15 minutes there are 3-4 adverts. An example of these adverts were albums made by artists on the rinse fm label and raves/concerts associated with the station.
Style and Content As a presenter, SK uses informal, colloquial and humorous puns in his language to appeal to the target audience. I feel that this relates to the young urban audience because they will appeal to the peer to peer attitude and will appreciate the puns and will be able to laugh along to his jokes. One of the features I listened to allowed the audience to use social media to interact with his debating topic. Although this was a debate, the subject was lighthearted and allowed for comedy elements.

Legal and Ethical RinseFM is like most radio station and has to follow OFCOM regulations. Before 2014, they were a pirate radio station and more content could be explicit and inappropriate. Now, SKVibeMaker; although was an original presenter before the station was commercialised, now has a producer to ensure all content, speech and music is suitable for the target audience and time of day.
Time and Platform RinseFM is a London based FM station, however you can listen to them online and through and app. The current show that SKVibeMaker presents broadcast at 11pm-1pm. This time is suitable for his style of music because it is targeted to a niche audience. Although, he is an animated and comical presenter he is not suitable for breakfast and drive-time radio slots because his music choice is not mainstream.
