2. My FMP will be an afternoon
style radio show for 16 to 24 year
olds on their way home from
school, college or work
It will play lots of popular music
and classic hits. They will
generally be easy listening
songs that everyone can enjoy.
I will talk a little bit about each
song and the band any upcoming
albums, tours gigs etcetera.
as well as this I will include a
phone in competition and news
weather and travel updates.
THE IDEA
3. RESEARCH
As I've already said my FMP will be an afternoon style radio show targeted at
16 to 24 year olds on their way home from school work or college.
In the research I conducted I found that most 16-24 year olds when asked
said that they listen to the radio through there phone.
Radio listening
other way
of listening
listen on
phones
The idea being the show will be
broadcast at 3:30 pm when most
schools finish.
Listeners will tune in on there phones
on their way home
4. RESEARCH
As well as surveys I also looked at websites and magazines.
The most helpful websites where as follows
www.bbcradio1.co.uk
www.bigtop40.com
www.absoluteradio.co.uk
I also looked at two magazines.
Kerrang
NME
5. RESEARCH
How the websites where helpful.
BBC radio 1 was helpful because I could listen to previous
shows see how they where planned out what sort of items
where in the show itself
like news weather and travel updates and chances for th
audience to interact with the presenters in the studio.
6. RESEARCH
The big top 40 helped me to choose some current music
that is popular at the moment as well as looking back at
previous top 40s and charts from around the world to
find lots of suitable and enjoyable music.
Absolute radio was helpful for choosing when my show
was broadcast. Absolute radio along with heart and
magic FM and most radio stations have a drive time show
at around 5pm but from midday to 5pm have there own
unique shows meaning there is no generic show in this
space. My show begins at 3:30 giving plenty of time until
5pm.
7. EXAMPLES OF SONGS, GIG INFO AND PHONE IN
Examples of the songs I will play are Fire by kassabian
Mrs Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel
oh my god by the Kaiser chiefs
Rasputin by Boney M

later this year
The competition will be to answer three questions on popular bands the
contestant has to answer at least two correctly.
