The DJ starts the show with the slogan "You buy them, we count them down." The event is then introduced and the DJ introduces himself along with the radio station with a very cheesy tone and background.The DJ speaks with a loud up-beat voice to keep the listeners entertained, loud sound effects are used to keep the audience entertained. Up-beat cheesy pop music is played which relates to the audience of the time. The DJ talks fast paced and up-beat to put listeners in a good mood and want to stay tuned in. The audience of the show at the time were mainly teenagers and young adults. 

2011;

• Includes guest hosts
• No jingle
• No introduction of the DJ or plan of the show

There isn't a jingle at the beginning of the 2011 chart show you just hear the presenter introducing what is happening and tell the listeners that there is a guest on the show. However, if they are on the Internet then the audience will be able to see what is going on live. In this extract there is no cheesy sound effects, the audio used in the background is just an up-beat song to keep you entertained. The voices in the particular extract, the (DJ) has a very down to earth and common voice that alot of social groups can relate to so that nobody feels excluded. The tone of the show is very up-beat because of the silly game the presenter is playing and the comedy of the show. The structure of the beginning of the show is the DJ introducing himself and what is going on and then mystery guest enters followed by questions and an interview.
