Assignment 3

Radio Station

Mega Radio

Mega Radio is a specialist radio station that plays music listened to by 15-29year olds, such as drum&bass, grime, bassline, garage, dupstep and jungle. We will broadcast through TV and DAB radio and also through internet, this is because our target audience will prefer to listen through these formats. We are also going to offer podcasts to download from our website, so that our listeners can listen on their ipods.

There is a gap in the market for this station as urban music is becoming popular and the only station that broadcasts in/to hampshire that supplies urban music is radio 1xtra.

Evaluation

Our podcast was aimed at the younger generation aged 15-25, that like underground music such as drum and bass, house and jungle. 

In our podcast we look at the night life in portsmouth with a focus on dirtydandy promotions this is because they had an event coming up.

Using local dj in our podcast is really good as it gets them noticed and known. Also our competition went really well.
