Presenter Analysis: Wesley Smith (BBC Oxford)
Wesley Smith Presents a lunchtime show on BBC radio Oxford at 12:00pm every Saturday, it is available in the oxfordshire region on FM and online, but is currently not available on DAB.
Wesley Smith knows the Oxfordshire region in his own words 'Inside out', allowing him to connect with the listeners and be involved on a more personal level with events effecting the region. The show includes allot of local news and reports, allot from on location. In the September 25th edition I listened to the show was being broadcast from Robin Gib's house ( a member of the bee gees) for a VIP fashion show being held in the region.
Content wise the show includes allot of interviews with celebrities and allot of local news relevant to listeners. There are long sections of dialogue and interviews that the older 40+ demographic will enjoy for the information they provide, but they are also accessible to anyone looking to find out about the regions goings on and news.
Wesley's presentation is very clear and the language used fits in well with the informative style of the show, he has a good rapport with the interviewees, and having been interviewed by him in the past for ITV news I can say he makes the interviewee feel very comfortable, and this shows in the relaxed easy listening style of the show.
Allot of people see the show as the perfect way to catch up on the regions events and news once a week, and the friendly and informative presenting style of Wesley Smith ensures he has an audience of avid listeners every week.
