- Onside FM, Touchline FM, Football First. We have chosen these names as they are all related to football (Onside is a football term, the touchline is the white line all round the pitch)
- Stay onside for the latest football news (uses the term from the name of the program in the slogan - catchy), The latest news on the beautiful game, Putting football first (Directly using the name of the program).
- Our programme would be aired from 5pm every Saturday and occasionally late on Tuesdays if there have been any weekday matches. 5pm would be an ideal time to Broadcast on a Saturday as this is just after all the football matches will have finished so people will likely be driving home in their cars which is where people listen to radio the most.
- The genre will be football/general sport
- Press conferences, post-match interview, live commentary, fan opinions
- Ian Wright, Lee Dixon, Lynsey Hipgrave
- As our average listener is around 30 years old we will play 90's music and some indie rock (e.g. Step On - Happy Mondays, The Only One I Know - Charlatans, Supersonic - Oasis, Disco 2000 - Pulp)
- Nike, Adidas, Puma, Lucozade, Trainline (as fans will use trains to travel to away games)
Scheduling & Justification
Our programme would be aired from 5pm every Saturday and occasionally late on Tuesdays if there have been any weekday matches. 5pm would be an ideal time to Broadcast on a Saturday as this is just after all the football matches will have finished so people will likely be driving home in their cars which is where people listen to radio the most.
Content
As we are creating a football-talk radio show, the majority of the content will be filled with a talk segment. The age range of our show is 26-40 and our content will reflect that as our show will feature mature discussions about the footballing world. The music we play will also relate to our target audience. There is a strong link between football casual culture and the indie/brit pop scene and as our target audience will have grown up listening to bands like Oasis and Blur, it makes sense to include these in our radio show.
Jingles
The jingles for our show should relate to the theme of football. We could use the sound of a referee's whistle, a cheering crowd or a ball being kicked. The jingle should also include the name of the show to help reinforce the brand we are trying to create. Any bedding music used in the jingle should follow the same theme as the music played on the show (indie, brit pop etc.).

A fire at a care home for the elderly in Chingford, North-East London has seen one of the residents tragically lose their life. Eight residents and four carers managed to get out of the three-storey block before fire fighters arrived at the scene. When crews arrived, two floors and the roof of the building were alight, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. Paramedics treated the woman but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Plastic straws and cotton buds could be banned in England as part of the government's bid to cut plastic waste. Ministers pointed to one estimate that 8.5bn plastic straws were thrown away in the UK every year. The prime minister said plastic waste was "one of the greatest environmental challenges facing the world". And Theresa May will urge leaders at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which began earlier, to follow the UK's lead in tackling the problem.

Prime Minister Theresa May clashed with the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn at PMQ’s this week. In reference to the Windrush furore, Jeremy Corbyn accused Theresa May of having run a "heartless and hopeless" Home Office and now being in charge of a "callous and incompetent" government. But the prime minister told him that she initiated the Race Disparity Audit, and would not take accusations of being "callous" from a man who "allows anti-Semitism to run rife in his party"

It’s certainly going to be a great show; first lets kick it off with a 90’s classic, this is Blur with Parklife.

That was Blur with Parklife, now lets get straight into todays results

In arguably todays biggest fixture; Manchester City have beaten Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at Wembley to edge closer to the Premier League title. Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, Ilkay Gundogan made it 2-0 3 minutes later after calmly slotting away a penalty and Christian Eriksen got one back for the hosts before half time. The second half was fairly uneventful until Raheem Sterling put City out of sight by adding a third to the blues total. This result means that if West Brom beat Manchester United tomorrow then the red devils will be mathematically unable to catch City meaning they will claim the Premier League this season.

It was a tighter affair down at the bottom end of the table as Crystal Palace beat Brighton in a five-goal thriller that finished 3-2 to the hosts. Surprisingly, all five goals were scored in the first 35 minutes of the match thanks to a series of early goals from Wilfred Zaha and James Tomkins.

Presenter 2:

In todays most important mid-table clash, Burnley beat Leicester City to edge closer to the possibility of European football next season. Chris wood netted the opener for the home side with Kevin Long heading in a quick second in the 9th minute. Leicester didn’t get back into the game until star striker and England international Jamie Vardy found the back of the net in the 72nd minute but it was too little too late for the former Premier League winners.

There was late drama at Saint Marys as Chelsea managed to beat Southampton 3-2 after being 2-0 down until the 70th minute. Tadic and Bednarek scored for the Saints in what was looking like an unexpected yet comfortable win as Chelsea were struggling in the oppositions half.
|
|
Presenter 2:
|
That was until Olivier Giroud came off the bench. The former arsenal striker found the net twice for the London giants with Belgian winger Eden Hazard adding an assist and a goal to his record for this season. Chelsea will be glad for the 3 points here as it keeps their hopes of Champions League qualification alive.

On to transfer rumours now, always a very interesting topic. Our rumour of the week this week is Anthony Martial to Atletico Madrid and Antoine Griezmann going the other way.
|
|
Presenter 1:
|
Very interesting, I feel that this could realistically happen; both still young, Martial’s only 22, Griezmann is 27 so shouldn’t be reaching his peak or in his peak currently. Still got plenty of years left in them both however, obviously Martial is a huge young talent who hasn’t really seen the game time he’d have liked but when he’s been playing he’s really performed hasn’t he?
|
|
Presenter 2:
|
Yes, I can’t really understand why Mourinho hasn’t been playing him much this season, I know they’ve got a lot of forward talent at Man United but still, he’s an outstanding player, maybe he’ll want Griezmann as a more proven player, even though he hasn’t proved it in the Premier league he is still undoubtedly a great player. Griezmann has scored 26 goals and notched up 13 assists in 42 games this season. Martial has scored 11 goals and assisted ten time in 41 appearances this season, lots of which have been as a substitute. I think this transfer will happen. Maybe not Griezmann to United but Martial to Athletico I feel is a great move.
|
|
Presenter 1:
|
I agree. I’d have Martial over Griezmann to be fair. He’s got a lot of potential, room to improve and he’s a signing for the future. Griezmann is more a signing for here and now and at the minute, I feel they need more than Griezmann to catch up with Man City, but what do you think let us know on Twitter its @OnsideFMTR. Jacob, what other rumours you got?
|
|
Presenter 2:
|
Well, there are rumours circulating about Sergio Aguero wanting to leave City when his contract is over.
|
|
Presenter 1:
|
I think this one is guaranteed.
|
|
Presenter 2:
|
Really?
|
|
Presenter 1:
|
Yeah, he’s been at City for a long time know, he’s their top scorer now, he’s won the league numerous times with them. I just think he’ll want a change of scenery.
|
|
Presenter 2:
|
But he’s loved at City. You think he’d want to move away from a club with fans that love him?
|
|
Presenter 1:
|
No and that’s why I think he’ll go back to Athletico as well.
|
|
Presenter 2:
|
Now that’s interesting, him and Martial playing for the same team, Costa’s still there. They’ll be a force to be reckoned with. However, his contract isn’t up for another year, you’ll still have him for another season City fans, but what do you think. Where does Aguero’s future lie, let us know again its @OnsideFMTR. Let’s cut to a song while we’re waiting for you guys to get in touch. Here’s Oasis with Cigarettes & Alcohol.

Presenter 1:
|
That’s all from me and Jacob today; don’t forget to tune in to our late show on Tuesday night where we’ll be discussing the results from the midweek fixtures.
