BBC Radio 1
Between 3 - 4 o'clock we listened to this radio station, Scott Mills is the presenter at this time week days. To understand how presenters work on the radio we listened to the radio for an hour to analyse it's content. Some of the things we were listening for was what music type of music they played, how many songs they played (until an promotion / throughout the whole show), how many promotions / jingles were played during the hour, also what they talk about. Although this radio station is a contemporary hit radio, is also does play the odd recurrent song.
Throughout the show 12 songs were played, news reports were played every half hour. 60 - 40% is the audio(music) to speech percentage. Different kinds of music is played by the different presenters to please the target audience of 15 - 29. They talk about the events going on in the year, and what competitions the audience can win. Also when they introduce new songs, they will talk about the artists (who they are, what songs they have released before, how long they have been producing music for and what else they have done) and their opinions on the songs. If they have time they will read out peoples comments off social networking sites.
When Scott Mills show started he introduced himself by his name and also what station it was, he spoke in an informal way and was enthusiasic towards the audience. He explains what is going to happen throughou his show, and for the rest of the day / week. He then lets you know the first few songs that are coming up, then introduces the song that he is about to play. Every half an hour the news update comes on talking about the latest news and sports. This station is adult conemporary station, this show played mostly pop / chart and urban music to satisfy the audience.
Jingles / station ID get played after or before songs and adverts. Although BBC Radio don't advertise because they ar a public radio, they promote things such as different shows and competitions. In Scott Mills show there was 3 promotions.
I do listen to BBC Radio 1 myself, i think it is one of the bes radio stations there is so i wouldn't change anything about it. The presenters are informal, jokey and enthusiastic, suitable for the target audience.
