After listening to a variety of different radio stations, I have concluded that there a number of different kinds of jingles on each station.  The site below includes many of the different types of jingles. I have used this as part of my research.  http://www.music4.com/radiojingles 1) Weather Jingles  -The tone of weather jingles are usually a lot softer than other jingles -They sometimes include sound effects (e.g. of the weather) -Weather jingles for weather reports are usually played in the morning, so listeners have an outlook for the rest of their day  -Weather jingles will include the name of their station, and often have the word 'weather' at the end  -Companies usually sponsor weather jingles 2) Travel and traffic Jingles  -Travel and traffic jingles include the name of the station, with the word travel or traffic at the end -These jingles do not always have music playing, sometimes they will have sounds of traffic in at the end -There will sometimes be

Throughout the whole process of creating my radio show and developing my research and planning I used a large range of different technologies. The technologies I used have been significant in enabling me to produce work to my highest standard.

Despite these similarities, our stations differ on the basis of the kinds of news stories which are included in their news bulletin. For instance, Kiss and Capital share a lot of national news stories as well as local news stories around london, whilst Northside fm focuses on purely local stories which have happened within the area that the show is broadcasted in.  Global is a British media comp
