Evaluation Question 1

To start my research on real radio I firstly listened whenever I could too Radio stations that I wanted mine to be like e.g. Kiss, Capital and Radio 1. This task really helped me because I feel like I picked up little things from listening to the stations at different times of the day and it also helped me choose a time for my station. It was a really difficult task not to just copy what was on the real radio onto mine but I think that by listening it helps you be creative and because I listened to 3 different stations you get a feel for a range of ways radios are presented. Once I had listened for a while too all 3 stations I felt that kiss 100 fm and Capital were most similar to what I was going to do on my radio. One difference between my radio and Capital and Kiss is that they have more music and jingles than my radio station. I chose to do that because I preferred there to be a little bit more talking than lots of music all the time.

I found that real radio included music like jingles, a show jingle, weather jingle, news jingle ect.
Here is my news jingle :

When I listened to real radio I also heard that they had news bulletins,  in my news bulletin there are 4 news stories as that was what the majority of the radios I listened too had. I have my main news without and with music. The reason I decided to add music was because I felt it sounded a bit plain and boring without the music in the back. Both are here:

News without music:




news with music :




When I listening to news bulletins I noticed that there were vox pop's, for example people on the street commenting on something thats just happened in the news. My vox pop's were people commenting on a recent break up. I felt they were useful and made the story more interesting.  Here are two of my vox pops:

Also when I listened to some news stories I noticed that there would be a cut to a correspondent who would be 'at the scene' for example a celebrity correspondent outside on the red carpet interviewing celebs. I used two outside broadcasts.

I heard adverts on all the stations that I listened too. Lots of different ones ranging from make-up to beer.
