After completing my Preliminary Task, I took it upon myself to listen to different ranges of radio's to gather a stronger idea of how my Radio should sound and be like. It occurred to me that every station has different times, schedules and especially when targeting a different audience - the station offers there particular audience different services. The main stations i compared were Capital, LBC, Heart and Absolute Radio.
I did a lot of research and planning for my radio production and focused on planning out what the conventions of a radio are. Everything included in the script I wrote for my radio comes from the research on other Radio Stations including Captial Fm, LBC, Magic, Heart, Kiss and Absolute. Seeing the other Radio stations helped me gain an idea for my Jingles, my News stories and Adverts. Everything included in my Final Script of my Radio Show has come from all the research and planning that I did. In every station there were similarities, some more than others but that just depended on the genre and target audience of the station.
For each Radio Station they had at least 3 or 4 News stories and 3 or 4 adverts. The news bulletins included Voxpops, broadcasts and soundbites. All the background sounds during the news were very serious, this was beneficial for me because i was able to do the same when i was creating my own News Stories and Adverts.
I had to consider all different factors that i didn't when doing my Preliminary Task. I was concerned about who would feature in my Radio piece. It occurred to me that i had to try different people for different parts until someone sounded best for that bit. For my News Story, i made sure that my Presenter was serious and spoke very quickly, for each advert i thought very carefully who would take each part. This was because it is important to make it sound as realistic as possible.
