Radio Suffolk:- Sports Programme.
I listened to this show on the way home from football it was reaction after Ipswich Town's 0-0 Draw with Peterborough Utd. The Shows presenter was fairly informal and he was rude to some of the callers and he questioned some of there views. During this Half an hour there was the ten o'clock news and thenm there were two traffic reports. Which were made to help people travelling home from the football.
There was one song played in the time when I was listening, it was Nine Million Bicycles in Bejing by Katie Melua. The song that was played was not a very lively one it was a quiet song which would help any one get back to sleep easily or it would get you to sleep. This song was played as it was fairly late at night and if the song was too lively it would wake up listeners who were in bed listening to the game.
There was four telephone calls from some Ipswich Town fans then there was an interview with the Ipswich Town Manager Roy Keane. The shows presenter was fairly rude to two of the callers as he was questioning everything they said and seemed to be taking the mickey of them without them realising.
After The ten o'clock news a song was played in the background whilst in the foreground they played some of the highlights from a fairly eventful match. Also there was a jingle that was about the new speedway season that was coming up. Saying that presenters from the show would be there giving free car stickers to show that you were supporting the new speedway seaon that soon gets underway. The trouble with this show would be if you did not like sport or do not understand it then this show is not for you as you have to be a sports fan to understand this show as quite a lot of this show is relating to sport and different sports events that were happening that night ,such as all the champions league games around the world.
But this show is great for a sports fan as it keeps them up to date with what is happening all whilst they are travelling home. This show cannot be planned in advance very much such as scripts being wrote as they commentate on the match that is being played and that is live, so they just have to make it up as they go along but they can write a script for what they say before the game as nothing has yet happened so all there facts are correct.

ICR FM 15min Demo Evaluation
ICR Evaluation
I thought that ICR was going to be the hardest because before this assignment I had never listened to ICR before in my life. So because of this I decided to do more research than all the others and I ended up listening to four shows for 15minutes and from this I was able to work out that generally they play around about 3 songs ing every 15mins, so thats what I decided to use, and as this had to be a talk show I thought I should have a topic, so what I choice is general upto date news and I got a paper and read out some of the stories. If I did this again then I would have made sure that I had a caller or a guest to interview and ask there views on some of the questions because at times in this it seems like im just trying to fill the gaps and I am not very interested in what I was talking about so that may have turned some listeners away. Also, I had the same microphone as I did in my heart demo so like in that if i did it again I would make sure that my voice recordings of my speech are of a better quality.

Asda Fm 15 minute demo Evaluation
Asda Fm Evaluation
For this demo I listened to a show on Asda Fm for 15minutes to find out what type of things they played, from this I was able to find out that they play a very big variety of songs and they play a lot of Jingles that include offers and different new deals and things that will be coming up in there shop. So from that I decided to sound like asda fm i should do Jingles of deals around the store too, So I went onto their website and found some of the best and some unknown deals that i would be able to use in my demo, so that it would sounds more like asda fm. Although if I did this again I would make sure that my show flowed a bit more as at times it is just jingle after jingle about deals and there is no connection between them, but there is also times where it flows really well, for example from where there is a deal talking about cheryl coles newest book and a deal on that it then goes straight into Cheryl Coles song Fight For this Love.

Evaluation For Group Radio Show
Group Radio Show Evaluation
For our assignment we had to get into groups and create a 30mintue show, it could be at any time of the day but had to be for SNC Live (the college's own radio station) so it had to be aimed at students. In our group we decided to do an afternoon show, which was called Hammy and The Derp, these were the nicknames of the main two presenters and so we incorporated all members of our group in a main presenting role we had a special guest presenter for one day only "Crazy Dave".
Overall I think we worked well as a group as we all did our part and we assigned each other with roles within the group such as script writer and the jingle maker, my main role was creating the scripts and the running orders and finding all the songs that we needed for our show. Another thing that worked well is that we all got on as a group, and as most of our show was only loosely scripted we were able to create a bit of banter between each other if we got stuck for something to say or needed to fill up a bit of extra time which in the end was needed as we needed to fill an extra mintue up at the end so we achieved our 30minute target.
So we reached out to our target audience of students, we thought we would have a section in the show where we talked about television, and we tried to pick out the most popular shows with students such as family guy and xfactor. We also tried to pick songs that were fairly popular or were in the type of music genre that most students listen to. Also when we did our news section we tried to pick things that would intrest students or things that were topical and that we may be able to make a joke of such as im a celebrity get me out of here.
If we were to do our show again I would make sure we knew the levels of things a bit more, as I thought at times the levels were very up and down also our voices were sometimes a bit like that. I would also change the way we said umm quite a lot, we only said this when we were on the loosely scripted stuff, so if i did it again I think that I would script it a bit more or I would make sure we knew more about it as at times if we are saying umm all the time it can sound quite unproffesional other than that I thought it sounded like I would expect to hear on a normal radio station such as Heart Fm.
Overall I was very happy with how the whole show went and I thought that it sounded quite proffesional and after listening to it again it is something that I would certainly want to listen to as it was always entertaining and at times it was fairly humerous.

Heart Fm 15 Minute Demo Evaluation
Heart Fm Evaluation
For this demo I had to do a breakfast show, so I listened one morning show and a couple of podcasts that I found on the heart website, and from these I found that they talked about all the reality tv shows that were on at that present time, so from that, I decided to do the same thing, but instead of talking about it like they did I thought I would get a caller on the line, I did this because I thought it would make the show more interesting. Although if I did this again I would make sure that my voice recordings of my speech are of a better quality as at times it sounds like I keep fadeing in and out, but im not supposed to be I think there was a problem with the microphone I was using. But appart from that I was very happy with my finished show.

I decided to imtate a sports show that I listened to on one saturday when Ipswich werent playing, I also listened to one phone in after a match to get more of an idea of what they play and things on a mathchday. So from what I heard in this show I was able to find out what type of music they would play and what type of content the show would include and when I came up with the finished show I was very happy with how my show went as I thought it sounded quite a lot like the original show. Although if I did do it again, I would make sure the mic was kept still at all times as because at times whilst I was talking you could hear rustling and the movement of the wire which went to the mic, but apart from that I was happy with my show and thought that it sounded fairly proffesionall in how it flowed and in how I had got things to fade in and out at the correct times.
