Radio and the Youth Audience Report

Radio and the Youth Audience

 

There are many reasons why younger audiences listening to the radio, one of the main reasons for this is the fact that iPods are extremely popular and allow people to tailor their own music. Another reason may be the fact that radios just don’t appeal anymore, or it could be down to the fact that new radio presenters just don’t appeal, they may be too old or just don’t talk about what young people want to hear anymore.

There are a few ways to appeal to the younger audience again, like when the Olympics were on, broadcasting about that greatly increased the number of younger listeners. So broadcasting about current events could appeal, as well as maybe comedy shows based at a younger audience. Or playing more music with less dreary presenters and chat shows.

Radio Review

Unfortunately my original radio show was lost due to being overwritten by other people using the recorders, I should have made it more obvious that it had important work on it, so I had to re-record it at the very last minute. My first radio show took far too many attempts, at least 20 if I remember rightly. But due to time contrictions our second radio show was done in only one take for minimum editing and a smoother, clearer outcome. I am not happy with my final outcome because I feel if I had taken more precautions it would have been something far better. Although Ben helped me a lot and without him it would have been even worse. But overall I feel that we worked hard, but I could have achieved something a lot more exciting to listen to.

 

 

Peer Reviews

 

I think the radio show went well, especially with the time used to record and edit the radio show, the show was funny and different and that was what made it good. it could have been better and longer if we had more time to record and think of an idea rather than rushing to a room and thinking of a two minute idea, but everything went ok with recording and editing and i enjoyed working with amber on the radio show.

 

 

The radio show was amazing. I really like it. Maybe more time should be put into it.
