BRIEF
BBC Radio Cambridgeshire is aware that they have lagged behind in keeping in touch with the younger demographic. They are keen to increase the market share with a younger audience. To do this, they will be trialing a new breakfast show - not aimed at their usual target audience but a new target audience between the ages of 16-20. 

The new show will air between the hours of 0730-0900, for those who are getting ready and travelling for college and work. BBC have made it clear that they want this new show to run like a traditional show, with news and discussion but feel fresh and focus on different topics. 

Your team needs to put together plans for this new show, showing detailed planning for a 10 minute segment of the first show.

Your 10 minute segment needs to include the following elements (these are all needed to be considered for a distinction grade):
3 different unique show sweepers (including a DJ specific sweeper)
Guest interview (live or pre-recorded) - 1-2 minutes
Local news story (including vox pops) relevant to the target audience - 2-3 minutes
International/national news story (including vox pops) relevant to the target audience - 2-3 minutes
Background music
Call to action segment

Make sure you are reading the notes section at the bottom, this can help you understand certain pages. This should be shared by the producer to all of the group members, so you can all work on it at the same time. Distinction and merit tasks are made clear.
