next write about the structure of a radio program on your own chosen station. try to tell me about each part, bringing in your own examples. if you can find audio link examples as well this would be beneficial.
the structure of capital
i listened to a radio station (capital) during some free time at work and wrote about what different things happened in it.
- ad for the money contest thing
- 1 song
- 7 adverts, all about 20-30 seconds long
- little 5 second thing saying the news is next (jingle)
- 1 advert
- ad about capital radio and global player
- the news, lasted about a minute with 3 different stories
- global player advert, about 5 seconds
- short weather segment probably saying how it was -2
- a short bit of general talk about the music thats next
- 3 songs played, about 2 or 3 minutes long each
- another little bit of general talk
- 2 or 3 more songs, similar lengths
- capital radio advert, 5 seconds long
- another song played (1)
- 1 advert
this was all over the space of about half an hour. then had to stop listening because my work shift finished.
music
the music played depends on the type of radio station, and is always different unless there are more than one station with a similar target audience. for example, radio 1 will play different music to bbc radio 2. from what I could tell, capital radio played songs that were new releases that the current generation would probably enjoy but also the kind that would be nostalgic, like the time that I listened to it Taylor swift and one direction played.
chat
the chat would have to be something that would entertain the kind of listeners, like bbc radio 2 is mainly aimed at 35 years and above, and radio 1 is aimed at ages 15-29. capital radio is a similar age ranged audience.
near enough all of the presenters on capital are in a similar age range, so stereotypically it would be normal for them talking as they would probably know who the station is mainly aimed at, and for them it would just be like talking generally to people the same or similar age as them.
current events
this can usually include literally anything that is going on or went on during that week. for example, like what happened with celebrities, news events etc. it would also talk about things that are aimed at their target areas, for example radio Sheffield would be aimed at the people who would live in Sheffield. for the target areas, there would include any traffic on the roads, events going on close by, and others that would reach this type of audience.
