Mrs D

This is a good start. You begin to identify some c and cs. To improve, you need to focus on the news more and be more analytical of the effect of the c and cs rather than just identifying them - a link to audience will help.

Eagle Radio

Interview
They interviewed ce-low-green on their show and asked him various questions about his old band gnarls barkly and how he has evolved into a solo artist. They also praised him about how successful he has become as a solo Artist, they also talked about his new single “it’s ok” and how he came up with the idea.

Phone – Ins
Listeners call in and tell a funny story that happened to them, “someone wore the same pair of jeans for a year for an experiment to test how much bacteria would be created, and it was the same amount as if you wore the jeans for one day”. Competitions where callers are put up against each other to win a prize

Weather/News
Recent stories that have been in the news. Local disagreement, weird stories, economic cuts and rises. “Amount of people who eat full English’s still”. Weather, temperature and traffic information. Just today’s weather, nothing really said about tomorrows weather until later on in the day. Local roads (M3) Train Information and buses. This information is usefull for listeners wether they are at home or on the go and need to know what is happening on the roads ahead of them so they can plan their journey, it will also allow listeners to know what the weather will be doing in the duration of the day and days ahead. The News is in quite a formal format with a quiet backing track of news music which fits in nicely as it gives it a good setting and whenever somebody listens to it they will know that it is the News, they also have a different presenter for each type of news (Sport, Weather, Traffic and News in general).

Presenters Voice
Clear voice, well spoken and doesn’t talk too quickly so you can understand what he is saying. Women’s voice, constantly reminding you of the time and the radio station. It is important to have a good presenters voice as people will recognise it when they are tuneing in and keep listening to it.

Genre of Music
Old classics like Queen and new pop music, not too crazy music, soft tunes for a more mature listener. The odd faster track for the younger listeners, trying to keep everyone happy and gain more listeners. Robbie Williams, liked by young people and old people. Pink for the younger more wild generation but still bearable for the older audience. It is important for all ages to like listening to our station so we will try and please everyone and vary the music.

Sound Effects
Techno sound before they introduce their station name and the next track. News music when the news is coming up, and some more news music when the news has finished. A small clip to build up to the next song.

Jingles
“96.4 Eagle Radiooo” Jingles are important because they stick in people's head and they know that they are tuned into your radio station, they are also spread to friends which will increse listeners.

Miss D

You need to upload work. You are behind.


Question one – What Gender are you?
Over half of the people that took our questionnaire are female. Most of the females that were asked on the questionnaire said that they listened to BBC Radio 1. The majority of the male sex said that they listened to Capital fm.




Question 2 – How old are you?
The majority of the people that took our questionnaire were 17 – 20 years old. In fact half of the people that took the questionnaire were 17 – 20 years old. The second highest age that we asked was 13 – 16 years old. The rest of the people that we asked were all fairly equal ages from 20-40 years. The majority of the younger generation said that they access the radio whilst ‘On – the – go’. This is mostly because of the technology that the younger generation tend to have. This could show a trend within radio stations, meaning that Capital FM and BBC Radio 1 are stations for a young age.





Question 3 – Do you listen to the radio?
80% of the people that took the questionnaire said that they listen to the radio. Only 20% said that they do not listen to the radio. The main reason why people do not listen to the radio said that they don’t because they do not have a car or a device that can access radio on the go.



Question 4. How often do you listen to the radio?
From this pie chart you can see that the majority of people listen to the radio once a day, the next biggest group of people didn’t listen to the radio at all. Then it was the people who listened to the radio more than once a day followed by people who listened once a week or more than once a week.



Question 5.What radio stations do you listen to?
We asked people what radio stations they listened to, Radio 1 and capital fm were the most popular choices. BBC Radio 1, Kiss 100, Heart and Magic were the next most popular stations with Eagle, other and people who don’t listen to the radio were the least favourite.


Question 6. Where do you listen to the radio?
The majority of people listened to the radio in the car, followed by at home, at work, on the go and I don’t listen to radio. From this it is clear to see that people like to listen to the radio whilst moving or doing something, this could be to pass time quickly.
