Similarities and differences between bulletins

-

After listening to three different news bulletins; Talk Sport, Radio 2 and Kerrang, along with contrasting the running order, facts and news values of each bulletin, I am now going to analyse each of the similarities and differences. 

 Across all three radio stations I listened too, they all contained at least one of the same news story. 
For example, all three stations included the story about Lauri Love facing hacking charges.
Both Radio 2 and Kerrang bulletins contained the story about Ethan Stables having been convicted over Gay Pride attack plan, however Talk Sport didn't contain this story. 


However, some stories such as Harry Kane's denial of diving in the premier league, only appeared on Talk Sport. This is because most of the people who tune into this station are interested in sports stories, which wouldn't necessarily be reported in other radio stations such as Radio 2 and Kerrang. 

Kerrang was the only radio station to include the story about Mc Donalds chip having a chemical in them which possibly cures baldness, in their bulletin. This was because Radio 2 didn't feel as though this story was significant to their audience. Likewise, Talk Sport didn't include this because this story wasn't significant to their audience either, one of the reasons being it has no relevance to sports.


Radio 2 was the only station which included the story about EU's Brexit negotiator Michelle Barnier having laid out new statements, in their bulletin. This is because political stories, such as ones which reference Brexit, are often mentioned in Radio 2. Moreover, Radio 2 may be targeted at an older audience than Talk Sport and Kerrang is. 



This implies that the news editor of each of the stations has chosen the stories to appear in the bulletins on the basis of their news values, along with how they felt the stories will appear to their respective target audiences. 

Despite stations sharing a couple of the same stories, I was surprised that there weren't more, especially as each of the bulletins were all aired at the same time of the same day. 

In order to check this again, I am going to listen to another two different radio station news bulletins, in order to see if they have some of the same stories regardless of their audiences.

Different types of jingles

-
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

Evaluation - technologies

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. Although some of the technology was slightly complicated, I managed to quickly understand how to use it all. The high variety of different software and hardwares lead me to my ideas and creativity. Since first creating my Blogger account, gradually I found it a lot easier to insert hyperlinks, audio and images.  Blogger Blogger is what I have used to complete my research and planning, along with my evaluations. For instance, It has allowed me to complete my tasks, write about them, include images, links, videos, music as well as acting as the template to my final radio show. Within my evaluation, I have been able to link certain blog posts, to help me refer back to my previous work. Moreover, there is a very clear layout and

Evaluation - different institutions distribution

My final radio show is called North Side fm, and is a local radio show, targeted towards younger listeners within North London. I portrayed this through the news stories being locally situated within this area, by choosing adverts which I felt would appeal to a target audience of 16-28 year olds and creating a jingle which made reference to North London.  My radio show is similar to existing radio stations, such as Kiss and Capital FM, in relation to the kinds of contemporary chart music they play, which is based for a similar target audience, in reference to age and gender, as mine is. 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
