3. Types:
Broadcastradio (publicservice,commercial)
The two types of broadcast radio stations each develop their playlists for a variety of reasons.
Each of the public service stations have specific demographic profiles that their music is
supposed to appeal to whereas commercial radio stations intended target audience dictates the
music that their station plays.
Internet radio (publicservice,commercial);
Internet radio services are usually accessible from anywhere in the world—for example, one
could listen to an Australian station from Europe or America. Some major networks like CBS
Radio and Citadel Broadcasting (except for news/talk and sports stations) in the US, and
Chrysalis in the UK restrict listening to in-country because of music licensing and advertising
concerns. Internet radio remains popular among expatriates and listeners with interests that
are often not adequately served by local radio stations (such as eurodance, progressive rock,
ambient music, folk music, classical music, and stand-up comedy). Internet radio services
offer news, sports, talk, and various genres of music—every format that is available on
traditional radio stations.
In-storeaudio (promotional,ambient)
Many major shopping centres and major retailers use in store audio for a couple of major
reasons. These can be for promotional purposes where songs are used to promote products
and sales or where they choose to play ambient sounds to create a relaxing mood or
atmosphere while patrons wander around the premises.

Be able to incorporate addedspeech and feature content into music
sequences
Content:
Live reads, eg dry, over beds; Cousin to the ad-libbed commercial, live read refers to when a
DJ reads an advertiser’s spot on the air, delivered from a script, fact sheet or personal
knowledge. It can also refer to when the DJ “endorses” the advertiser’s goods or services.
A link into pre-recorded material; for radio, eg interviews, feature items, traffic bulletins,
competitions; can relate to a piece of material being pre-recorded that can be used numerous
times on different shows. A presenter can be talking about a topic and then cue an interview
or sound bite that adds depth to a story.
Content for in-store, eg sales and promotion, commercial messages, infotainment;
transitional material as punctuation, eg jingles, stings are used on loop in many occasions and

script throughout a period of time.
Purpose: Adding speech and feature content into a radio show has numerous different
purposes. On the radio the purpose of this content could be for ratings (An interview with a
famous person) to aid the format (adding detail when identifying a song that was played),
public service (News broadcasts fall in this category), commercial (Advertising or live reads),
regulatory issues (, sponsorship; in-store, e.g. increased sales, brand awareness, customer
retention
