RADIO PROJECT - Radio Research List

 AS Media RADIO PROJECT - Radio Research List

Group: Ilona, Sera, Rania, Sharon
> Blog is written by me (Sharon)

All were evaluated at around 8am WITA (midnight in the UK)

Contents heard on the radios are listed in order

Radio X:

- Starts off with relaxing/calm music

- Host/speaker gives information on the queen's death and funeral

- Transitions to mellow music, perhaps in relevance to the queen's death

- "Radio X" jingle

- Country music plays (a change in the genre)

(Audience > possibly middle-aged, young adults to adults)

How it influenced: music can be correlated to news that is to be informed, such as how mellow music is applied in the background when the speaker is reporting about the queen's death

Classic FM:

- Classical music

- "Classic FM" jingle

- Transitions to another classical music

(Audience > adults/elderlies)

How it influenced: this radio sticks to one genre/type of music, which is very similar to our initial plan for the radio show

Gold UK:

- 00's music

- "Gold UK" jingle

(Audience > young adults to adults, middle-aged, elderlies)

How it influenced: not entirely since we've only listened to a song and their jingle

LBC News:

- Speaker/host gives information on crimes in Ukraine

- Additional information on the queen's funeral

(Mostly news than music)

(Audience > the general public)

How it influenced: the news is simple and quick but recaps as a whole; they won't bore the audience. We're attempting to make the news as brief as possible

Heart 80s:

(Mostly music compared to news)

(Audience > adults, middle-aged, elderlies)

How it influenced: nothing much as it was just music playing

Heart Dance:

(Audience > teenagers, young adults)

How it influenced: nothing much as well

Anything Goes (Podcast) - Emma Chamberlain:

Uniquely, Emma doesn't use any lyrical jingle to switch between topics, it is merely a ring she does to cue between segments (discussions, advert) of her podcast show. She doesn't include songs either, simply discussions on relatable topics, along with teenagers and young adults as her target audience as well! Her podcast show is quite well-known among teenagers in this present time due to how she interacts with her audience/listeners - in a relatable and realistic way, such as ranting. This has reached the target audience since she, herself, is still in her early 20s, making it easier to connect with teenagers and young adults. Therefore, it has influenced us from that point of targeting audiences our age, that being teenagers to young adults
