LO1: Analysing a Talk And Music Radio Show

Sheffield Live's - The Bassment

Running Order
The Running order of the show starts of with a song to introduce the podcast, after a part of the track the presenter comes to to introduce some adverts that will be played on the show. Just before the adverts come on the Sheffield live jingle is played. After the Adverts are finished another jingle for Sheffield live is played and then it goes into more music. The majority of the show is music. The Single presenter speaks to introduce songs but doesn't speak that much besides that. I think that the running order is set out like this for a reason, for example The Jingle is played every time the content changes as in when it goes from the presenter or music to adverts and then when it goes from the adverts back to the music. I also think that you don't hear that much of the presenter for a reason, because it isn't really a radio talk show, its primarily music. I think that this is due to its air time, this podcast aired at 10pm  where if you have been at work all day and you want to relax with music then you have relaxing music to hear. unlike when you are on the way into work in the morning and you have things on the radio show making you laugh and keeping you entertained with different guests and topics. This is also the same reason why I think there is only one presenter, there is not a lot of talking through out the show so there is only one presenter needed.

Presenters
There is only one presenter on this show and that is because it is late at night when the primary content of the music will be just music. The style of the presenter in this radio show is quite informal and relaxed, he is speaking calmly and soft I think that this is due to the music talk to show being played late at night so there isn't going to be many people listening that are wanting to hear him hyped and and excited for a radio show that would be listened to by people on the way home from work that finish late.

Content
The music of the show tells the audience straight away about the genre of the show and music. It is upbeat funky music that is from 1990s to 2015. this connotes that the main audience would be people that are into this genre of music. It also connotes that the age range for the audience would be quite large due to some songs from the 90s being played and others from the 00s and some that have been released recently. In this radio show there are no phone ins or competitions or interviews, I think that it is because the show is played so late so the people that will be listening will not want conversation or interviews, they will want to hear music because they would either be driving home or using the radio show as party music.

Audience
The target audience for this show age wise, would be people ranging from 15 to 45, I think this is due to the content of the show. The music ranges from the 90s to the modern day music. I think that the Gender of the target audience would be 50/50 because I don't think that any of the songs played would be biased towards either gender. I think that the target demographics of the audience would be C1C2D this is because it would be listened to by the people working late in jobs that are seen in same as C1C2D audience. The lifestyle and audience for this show would be people that either work late and listen to this music on the way home or even still at work when working late.
