theorists
hesmondhalgh = challenges him as lnwh is taking risks whilst trying to maximise audiences - eg by trying to target a younger demographic than bbc 4's usual older audience
- however, it minimises risk of a low audience by starting it off with jane garvey hosting, as this brings in an existing woman's hour audience
- also originally hosted with lauren laverne - presenter of the culture show & bbc's coverage of glastonbury
gerbner = lnwh shapes & reforms new representations - it's a part of an attempt to cultivate a new ideology of progressive femininity - however, male gatekeepers make this difficult
curran & seaton = lnwh is not driven by profit & power but instead ideology and cultural influences - it's creative in its own content
van zoonen
- achieves her suggestion that gender stereotypes in the media can only change if more women produce and appear in the media
- lnwh helps to alter the societal attitudes towards women in terms of discussion around 'taboo' subjects
bell hooks
- radio 4’s audience is often pigeonholed as being white and conservative middle class, & bh has written about how women of lower class or different ethnicities are even more oppressed by patriarchy
- however, featuring guests & issues that reflect the diversity in the female audience challenges this, as this breaks down pre-existing ideas around women & radio 4's audience, & promotes empowerment
bbc

audience
radio 4's audience
- abc1 succeeders
- ages 35-54
lnwh audience
- abc1 reformers/aspirers/mainstreamers
- 21-35
- female
lnwh audience targeted through
- new time slot (11pm, post-watershed)
- racier subject matter, eg virginity
- more informal tone, eg swearing, 'like'
online
radical potential = challenging themes (eg birth control), ethnic diversity, female empowerment
however, hesmondhalgh would argue that the bbc limits lnwh's radical potential due to being a public service broadcaster (channel 4 is a place for less neutral content)
jenkins
- the idea that fans are active participants in the construction and circulation of textual meanings
- this theory relates to lnwh, as they allow their fanbase to send in requests for topics and allow their audience to get involved with their content
shirky
- the idea that the internet and digital technologies have had a profound effect on the relations between media and individuals
- lnwh is broadcast digitally which has changed the relationship between media and individuals, as this means that they may access the shows whenever they please, allowing a wider range of viewers since they don’t have to stick to a certain time frame to listen
context
a spin-off from the long-running bbc radio 4 daily magazine programme, woman’s hour & began broadcasting in 2015
-
the original show reflects possible tokenism (a show set aside for women might imply all other radio content was oriented towards men), but lnwh features frank and open discussions & demonstrates societal shifts and increased gender equality
