This document outlines the roles and responsibilities of presenters for a student breakfast radio show. It describes four presenters: Becky is the studio presenter who introduces the show; the news presenter links stories and reporters; Sophie is the education correspondent who reports on a hard news story about smartphones in college; and Gemma is the specialist reporter who reports on a soft news story about youth activities and asks questions during vox pops. The roles aim to keep the student audience entertained with varied voices and content relevant to them.

1. Presenters

2. OCR
• After going on the official Oldham Community
Radio website, I noticed that their was a wide
range of presenters. These were scheduled
throughout the day for all different types of
audience.
• However, one audience that wasn’t mentioned
was students. I found that for a younger
audience, the presenters would have to be more
entertaining and upbeat than those that I had
researched, especially because it is a breakfast
show.

3. How we will do it...
• To keep the audience entertained, we thought
that we should have a range of voices rather
than one presenter that could be quite boring.
• Like the original Oldham Community Radio
news reports, we decided to distinguish
different voices between a news reporter and
a studio presenter. However, we extended our
voices by having 4 presenters in this small
section.

4. Studio Presenter
Becky is our studio presenter.
Her role is to be the main
presenter that is
broadcasting from the studio.
She will introduce the show
to the audience before the
news presenter takes over.
She will use station and time
idents as well as greetings to
keep the audience
entertained and knowing
what is happening.

5. News Presenter
I am our news presenter. My role
is to take over the role of the
main presenter when the news
story begins, and link back to
the studio presenter when it is
over. I will introduce news
stories and link to different
reporters that will ask the
interviewees questions. My role
is to keep the audience clued.

6. Education Correspondant
Sophie is our education
correspondant. She will report
the hard news story, based on
smart phones in colleges. After
the news presenter has
introduced the story, Sophie
will explain her role in the
interview and ask Mick Walsh
the questions. Her role is to
present the hard news story.

7. Specialist Reporter
Gemma is our specialist reporter.
She will report the soft news
story, based on activities for youths
in the area. After the news presenter
has introduced the story, Gemma
will explain her role in the interview
and ask Martin Ashurst the
questions. Her role is to present the
soft news story.
Gemma also has the role of asking
the vox pops questions when we are
recording them.
