This week we were given the task of producing a radio show for students. My initial idea was to make something different from what i had heard on stations such as Demon Fm and Burn FM. These shows were aimed at someone in my age group, but they failed to engage and interest me. I will use the conventions i have learned from listening to student radio to form a skeleton around which i can build a show that i believe my peers will want to listen to.
I decided to include allot of student interaction and came up with the idea to have 'student stories' where people would text in funny/ drunken stories, i like to see this as a main part of the show as it gives other students and listeners something to relate to and be entertained from. Along with this we will have shout outs, text ins and competitions; i believe this will help keep the audience entertained and fell part of he station.
We are all going to present during this live show to utilise all the groups talent. I would once again take the roll of producing the show as well as being the main presenter, i will therefore produce a script and radio clock for the show to help me.
This show will aim to be 70:30 with music and speech to keep the listener informed, but also have allot of their music to entertain them and give people another reason to listen to the show. I will create allot of jingles and stabs to lay over the intros of songs and to introduce segments of the show, this was one of the conventions of student radio that I enjoyed; because of this we have decided to name the show Weird Wednesdays as this fits in with the Wacky and Weird nature of the show.
As presenters we must be lively and entertaining, but also sound clear and informed, and it will be my job to correct and set the levels for each of the presenters, the computer volume, and the levels coming from the cd players and Ipods.
