Is it suitable for the Genre and what has been included to make
it suitable?
I think that my radio broadcast is suitable for the genre and target audience because the
songs that we have included are more suited to younger people. Same Old War is a rock song
and Blank Space was originally a pop song by Taylor Swift, which was very popular with young
people, so they may be interested to hear a different version.
Also, we used a modern news theme which will appeal to younger people. We couldnt get the
CFM News theme so we were going to use the BBC pips and the Radio 2 theme however we
decided to use the Radio 1 theme because it will make the news more interesting for the
target audience, whereas the BBC pips are very traditional and could be seen as old
fashioned.
Another thing that we wanted to achieve with our radio broadcast was to make it appeal to
local people by providing them with local news rather than national. So we included lots of
different news stories from around the county.
Also I thought that our show sounded very scripted, a good radio broadcaster can improvise
on the spot and doesnt necessarily need a script, or they just use it for cues. Whereas it was
very obvious that we were reading our speaking parts.

I also carried out some qualitative feedback using a questionnaire to find out what people
thought about my radio broadcast and received the following feedback:
I liked that you added in the news at the start and that it had some background music going along with it
that gave it more atmosphere.
It was well edited and I liked the start where the news sound effect was in the background, it sounded
professional.
You need more talking and maybe a longer conversation because the 2 songs dont give you enough time to
talk.
Try making the speech clearer as the background noise sometimes overpowers the speech.
The 2 songs both suit the audience well but the news needs to be aimed more at this age range than
everyone.
The news at the start may not appeal to the teenagers, although the rest of the radio audio would be great for
younger teens.
I also made sure while making my radio broadcast that I didnt include any information
that could potentially offend certain people.
I didnt work on the computer for more than one hour at a time without taking a break
Food and drinks are not allowed in the school computer rooms so there is no chance of
accidental damage to the hardware leading o loss of data.
All of the school computers are fitted with effective anti virus software so that I had
piece of mind when I was downloading files from the internet.
All of my work for this unit was stored on a memory pen which is backed up onto an
external hard drive regularly.
