Powerpoint to show my research on Radio 2 and Capital

Radio History

 

• Radio started in the 1920's
• Up until the 1960's BBC was the only contender 
• 1950's rock and role was introduced for the teenagers
• 1970's commercial radio started- radio paid for by advertising

Types of Radio

• International - Radio that transmits their broadcasts from a host nation to another nation/nations. An example would be BBC World Service; that broadcasts from London and connects to many nations via global satellite services.
• National- This is a nationwide station that broadcasts all over on nation, for example BBC Radio 1, Absolute Radio and Classic.FM; all broadcast to many places throughout England.
• Regional- Any station which doesn't serve the whole country, but which serves more than just one town or local community (regions). Kiss and Heart are both examples of regional radio stations.
• Local- Radio services for a particular area, as opposed to radio aimed at a national audience. This will include, Isle of Wight radio, BBC Solent and Capital.FM (south coast); all of these are local radio stations for Hampshire, the South coast and the Isle of Wight.
• Digital- In these systems, the analog audio signal is digitized, compressed using formats such as mp2, and transmitted using a digital modulation scheme.
• Satellite- Is a radio service broadcast from satellites primarily to cars, with the signal broadcast nationwide. Kerang is a satellite radio station.
• Internet- Is an audio service transmitted via the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means. Vectis Radio is an internet radio for the Isle of Wight.
• Pirate- These are illegal radio stations that use unauthorised means of transmission for entertainment or political purposes. They were also based on board ships/boats anchored near the shore. Radio Caroline and Luxemburg were pirate radio stations in the 1960's. 

Thoughts on the Task

The task we have been given is to generate a radio station and news bulletin for a young audience on the Isle of Wight. I think the task set seems rather enjoyable as it will enable me and my group to be creative and expand our experience in technology (editing, recording). I am excited to be able to create my own radio station including the name, as well as having to make strategic decisions in terms of creating a radio programme suitable to our audience. In GCSE Media I have already looked at radio adverts and designed and produced my own advert warning young girls about the dangers of teenage pregnancy; a major issue in today’s society. Therefore I have already done some recording and editing on my own as well as having to consider audiences. The other two people in my group are a lot more confident than me in the editing part and so will be able to have a more experienced input there. Overall I feel that we have an all-round group enabling us to create a worthy outcome to this task.
