Radio

"What did you like the most about the stations' programming (content) and the host(s) method of delivery? I listened to the Bert Show on Star94 and although I am a fan of the music they play, I am not as much of a fan of the actual show. They have A LOT of commercials and it is personally very annoying. But when they are talking, sometimes they have celebrity guests and many different segments. How will you incorporate the qualities of these shows into your own show?" As far as my show goes, I will try and do less commercials and more content. I will also make sure we continue segments that flow from to another. This will keep our listeners interested especially sense we won't be playing nearly as much music! 
How do you want your show to sound? i would appreciate it if my show was filled with enthusiastic people and the mood of the show was fun yet while fun serious at times its needed(ex. news). because the show would be an all around type i would expect some inspiration and positive moments to make not only my day but others as well.

How will you fill in dead air? dead air would be filled by funny situations, games and prize give aways.

Listen to the Radio

This assignment is due Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 by 11:59 pm.

Broadcast Video Production students have an assignment: Listen to the Radio! No, I don't mean Pandora or Slacker. Listen to AM or FM radio this week and over the weekend. Especially notice morning drive shows (6:00 - 10:00 am). I want you to focus on the DJs and/or hosts of a segment, and listen to the content. Notice how everything is structured and timed to the second. Keep your own radio show in mind while you listen. How do you want your show to sound? How will you fill in dead air? Here's a list of stations from which to choose:

Star 94 - 94.1 FM
B98 - 98.5 FM
WSB Radio - 95.5 FM and 750 AM
GPB Radio (NPR, All Things Considered, etc) - 90.1 FM
Q100 (The Bert Show) 99.7 FM

Once you've gotten a good idea about what your listening to, write a blog about the stations you listened to, the DJs and their method of delivery, and all the other people who are involved in making their show a success. Write a thoughtful blog based on the following question and reply to at least 2 classmates' blogs:
