Proposal Plans

By Callum Presland

I  

IntroductionIn this report I will be highlighting on the

proposed plans from BBC and Millennial for BBC3 to go online. In addition I will be proposing my own ideas for online content to be included on the BBC 3 website which will appeal to young people.

Background information

BBC Threes share of viewing figures chart between January 3rd to march 13. (Below)

BBC 3s aims and objectives

1.The channel focus is young people–16-34 year-olds: people who are young in spirit and mindset.

2. BBC Three is ‘Never Afraid to Try New Things’ and that’s why we will continue to innovate with breakthrough comedy, standout entertainment, brave documentary and intelligent factual formats.

3. BBC Three should provide an environment for the development of new ideas and talent and for existing talent to take risks, becoming a genuine laboratory for BBC One and BBC Two.

Facts 1. BBC aim to save £100m from the axe of BBC 3

2. BBC 3 is the birthplace of rating successes such as.

3. Kids’ ages 8 to 18 now spend an average of 10 hours and 45 minutes a day, seven days a week with media. That translates into 75 hours and 15 minutes

Will it make much difference?

My Proposal I am proposing a number of interviews on the

subject of young people’s careers, employment chances and ambitions. The minimum wage and whether the low rate for young people could be regarded as age discrimination.

The minimum wage: is it age discrimination?

In this interview young people will be asked whether age discrimination is present in the minimum wage system.

I will interview 10 people, half over 18 and half under 18. I will conduct this research in various town centres by approaching people and asking for their permission to be interviewed.

Unique selling point I believe my unique selling point is the debates

and even protests that could arise between young people and parliament.

As the subject matter would highly interest a number of young people as it is already heavily debated in parliament and therefore really does have a profound effect on the young community.

My proposal summaryVox pop interview- Minimum wage, is it age discriminative? Questions

How old are you? (between 16-34) Do you have a job? If yes what is your job? Are you aware of the current minimum wage for your age range? (Awareness of the public) Has minimum wage ever affected you in the past?  What is your opinion on minimum pay? Is it fair for under 18s to earn less than their older colleague? Why do you believe this?
