Questionnaires
Allowed us to see which was the most popular time to listen to the radio, mornings and evenings, this means that when planning our radio show we will choose between these times because a radio show at this time would have the largest audience. Questionnaires also allow us to see what people like most during radio shows. This means that when putting together we should take into account that people like 2 presenters and they also like music. As commuters listen to the radio, we should take into account the travel and report this during our news bulletin.
Media Artefacts
Using the media artefacts we can establish how other shows run and how we could incorporate these types of things into our show. For example most shows seem to have a male and female presenter. This makes it more neutral and widens the audience viewing; if we did this it would have the same effect on our show. During the news some shows had a backing tune to add seriousness to the news, this is important to think about when planning our news bulletin as our use of sounds is essential. Listening to the jingles on different shows allowed me to analyse the style of jingle appropriate to the show, for example the morning shows tended to have upbeat, lively jingles to wake people up in the morning and be cheery, however evening shows tended to have a slower, longer jingle to allow a “wind down” feel.
Product Placement
Product placement allowed me to look in detail at which time would be best for our radio show. Peak times for news seem to be when most people tune into the radio, which means that morning and evening would be the best time for a show. Also from product placement I found out that the news tends to be longer and more detailed/ frequent during peak hours (morning and evening). This is important as we are planning a news bulletin.
