Radio show evaluation
Commercial Radio
Music
I think that the music we chose for our commercial radio show was good because the type of
commercial show we chose to do was a rock show. The songs we chose to use for the show fit into
the rock genre. As a result of this I think that we met our target audience’s needs. The target
audience for our hour long show was people who like rock music. When we had our focus group in
class we played our show and the music choices was one of the positives the group came up with. I
think the reason why the music choices was good is because Kendell is a fan of rock music and would
have been part of the target audience so we just based the show on what she would like to hear on
the radio show and what applies to her.
Presenting
The presenting side of the radio show was a mixture of good and bad. The good parts of our
presenting technique is that the conversation just flowed and we didn’t pause we just kept on
speaking. This is good because if you’re struggling to make conversation with the co-presenter I
think the listeners could tell and it doesn’t sound good and sounds forced and less like you’re doing
it for fun which is important. The only negative point to our presenting was that during our ten
minute talk section we didn’t stay on topic. I think we should have spoken about other things that
have the same target audience as us. Instead we spoke about Beyoncé and celebrity big brother I
don’t think this was good because they are not aimed at the same audience the radio show was
aimed at.
Technical
We didn’t have any trouble with the soundboard. This showed because our songs and jingles faded
into each other. As a result of this it made our radio show seem high standard.
