3. CONCEPT
• -My initial Idea of my own programme will be called Gossip central, the Idea of this talks show will not

industry. But will Involve many young upcoming talents coming to showcase their talent.

topics that would be talked about will also educate the audience at the same time.

• -My potential audience will be aimed at the ages of 16-20 the reason for this is because this
is the prime age is where my show will benefit from properly. This is the age where they are
at Higher education and are aware of the situations young adults face and how they can be
solved, as well as being able to enjoy the show.
• -I would prefer my audience to be of a secondary school leaving age, as there may be the
use of swearing or topic that will not be beneficial for the younger viewers.
-My audience will be lovers of entertainment such as music, dance, films, and interested in
the gossip of what celebrities are getting into. And interested to be involved in topics that
involve the issues of society, gangs, and much more. Allowing the young adults to voice
their opinion and get involved.

concerning what my audience like

rather stand out and bring a
different twist to my show.
