The Purpose of Big John At Breakfast is to entertain the audience of people in Yorkshire who are on their way to work or school.  The genre is Adult Contemporary.
The Conventions are the same as any other typical breakfast show.


The structure of the show is basically how it starts at 6 and finishes at 10.
The chart music is played and you are introduced by the presenter.  Then the adverts begin, more music is played and more local sponsers which are owned by Bauer.  The show is financially successful they hold lots of competitions and local events. The news cast plays ever half an hour which splits up the show, also adverts play which advertise or lead awareness for personal safety, such as adverts from THINK! 
 
Popular music like chart music is played which relates to the demographic. Chart music artists such as Robin Thicke are played on the show, but there are still older songs played to, such as on the none stop school years programme. 
The form of the show is audio broadcasting through digital and analogue signals.

The production process of Hallam FM includes information about products and trends which are being sold to the public, there will have been staff who wrote a plan of what will happen that day with talk hosts. News teams will have been organised and told about stories that target the audience at that time of year. Gossip would be involved about things in which the target audience would be interested in. There will also be staff who control a social networking websites such as twitter so they can reach the audience and let them know whats coming up on the show.

‘Playing none stop school years.’  This jingle is to be aware that the school year classics are being played which keeps listeners from that era to stay engaged to the show.

There are different types of jingles, a lot of jingles connote happiness and joy, this is also a way of advertising.

Many adverts which play on the show such as financial, health, food, social, travel, toys, shopping centers, high street stores, furniture, phones, sky and boilers etc. It uses AIDA marketing, this way they get more listeners.
