LO3: Evidence
I made nearly all of the conten for the podcast the only thing I did not make is the background music. Mitch made the backdround music from scrach and there is no copy right on it. I wrote the script and did all of the pre-production as I was not in a team.

LO2: Be able to plan a new talk and music radio programme.
Details
Name or title of program: Manter (This is
a mix of the words man and banter)
Length of show: 1 and a half hours
Genre or type of program: The genre will
be entertaining and to inform. It will be presented in an informal way. I think
that this will work as some of the most popular pod-casts do in in this manner.
Brief description / synopsis: The pod-cast will be much laid back like a conversation between friends I think that this
will work very well as it will let the listener relax. The topics that we will
talk about are thing like film, games and comics. These are things that I have
strong back ground in and know lots about. There is a large amount of people
who also like seeing the best films and playing the newest games. I find that people do one of these thing do
the other are at least have an interest in them.
The show will be pre-recorded as it is a pod-cast
Target Audience
Time of day: 06:00PM It will be aired at
this time because
this is the time that students work at
and would be the best
time for them to listen to.
Day(s) of the week: Friday
Intended age of audience: 18-45 This is
the age of people that
would like the topics that we will be taking
about.
Other target details: Mainly Male This is
because the gender
that
watches and reads comic book related thing are mainly male.
Resources Required
Equipment Software – Editing (Adobe
Audition) [£27.34 per month]
Ideally, we would like industry
professional software such as Pro Tools, but to be cost effective we are using
Adobe Audition for a couple of months during post production as this our
cheapest software.
Hardware – Professional Radio Microphones
(sE
Electronics se x1 Vocal Pack Microphone) {x3} [£129.99], PC (Lenovo C470 Touch
Screen All in one) [£499.99] , Behringer Xenyx X1204 Portable Mixing Desk [£88.52]
We will use these professional grade
microphones, one for each of the presenters as well an extra for guest
interviews. The computer is required for utilising our editing software and
live cues for jingles, tracks and vox pops are played via our mixing desk.
Music Licensing – PRS License [£300 per
year]
As the majority of music played on the
Steel City Pod is copyrighted, we require a PRS License allowing the programme
to play any music.
Studio Furniture -
Location: Studio Space Rental
– Sheffield Live! Offices [£30 per month]
Included in this cost is the privilege to
be able to broadcast your programme for the radio station.
Production time (recording
and editing): It would take us about an hour maybe long to record all of the
podcast and take around a day to edit it.
Additional information
Content of show: In Manter the
content would change from week to week because we would change the topic of
what we would take about. One week it would be the best films next week it
would be about the best music. Each week we would have a topic we would talk
about but beforehand we would talk about any big news of the week. I do not
think that we would interview anyone we could have a guess on an episode but I
would not interview them. At the end of the podcast we would go throw some fan
feedback. Me (Harry Swallow) and my friend Mitch Morton will be presenting the
podcast Manter. We
will be talking in a very informal manner because it will appeal more to the
audience. We will be talking the News, current affairs, music, films, games,
and cars. Anything that will be talked about in the news and any other popular
topics. We will have a short intro sound that will be more of a jingle. If we
make more it will be segment in the podcast and each segments will have its own
small jingle. When we get people listening to us we will ask for people to ring
in to talk to us and I will set up an e-mail account so that people can get in
contact with us at any time. We will not be having any guest for the first
podcast but maybe on a latter one. At the end of the podcast we would go throw
some fan feedback.
Interviews and as it is a podcast there
would not be any phones in as it would all be pre-recorded. We would use thing
like face book, twitter and email.
Music- the music included in the opening
intro will be produced In house to eliminate any risk of copyright
infringement.
Examples
of questions and issues to be raised for interviews: We will not be
interviewing anyone we will be having guests on but we will not ever interview
anyone. The questions that will be asked are to do with the topics of the week
like if we talked about the best hero films I would ask at the end to contact
us and tell us their favourite tell us why and then the worst hero films they
have seen and why. Then go over it in
brief in the next show. Because we go over things the listener has said they
will feel like that they are interacting with us.
Styles
of music to be used: We will not be playing music but if one of us mention
something I may put it in the end of the podcast when it comes to editing it.
that
week is based on music. There would be a bedding song in the background if we
talk about something like a song or soundtrack.
4. We
would advertise small business in the Sheffield area like clothing shop,
restaurants and ant local events.
Adverting
Frog
and parrot
O2
academy
I
would use these because we would talk about music and both of these places have
lots of musical acts.
City
taxi
Mercury
taxi
The
show would be late at night so people would most likely use a taxi if they were
going for a night out and would be unable to drive because of drinking.
Jafflong
restaurant
Tilly’s
I
would use these because they are local restaurants and would be easy to get
advertising.
Celluloid
screams
I
would talk about films a lot during all of the podcasts so I would have this
local film festival as it fit in very well with the topics and theme I would
take about
We
would not get lots of advertising profit because we would be doing in throw
Sheffield live and they cannot make %50 more profit

Genre
The type of programmers broadcast on Sheffield is
different type of entertainment, music and news. They cover a large amount of
music throw the week going through many different genres of music. Each one of their
shows is aimed at a very different type of people with very different tastes.
Some of the shows are aimed at all residents of the Sheffield but most are aimed at
a particle type of person, this can be the Asian community with in Sheffield
to the Jamaican community who both have
very different preferences but both are catered for. Some of
the neach music they play in relation to Sheffield is RnB, Dub
step, Hip-hop, AfroBeat & Ragga Soul.
Here is
a schedule for Sheffield Lives radio station as you can see from the different names
of the shows Sheffield live caters for lots of different communist with in Sheffield.
Audience Profile
Sheffield Live's target audience is just the residents of Sheffield. It is Sheffield Live's radio shows' that have a specific demographics to which they are aimed at. They have that many shows on at Sheffield Live that there will be something for the listener to enjoy. Sheffield Live does not have a specific target audience except the citizens of Sheffield.
Production Process
Sheffield live have there
own studios from which they produce all of their show. They have all
the equipment needed to make any type of radio show, such as microphones,
computers, mixing boards and play servers. There are lots of people who use
this equipment, they are all separated into there own little team who
all work in different whys and have role delegated

Market Shares
Sheffield live has around 11% of the city's
listeners this is around 32,000 people a week. Sheffield live
biggest competitor is Hallam FM; this is because they focus on the
same audience. The look at south Yorkshire so the people of Sheffield fall under that, there
biggest difference is that they do not look at the small demographics' with
in Sheffield.
LO1 Task 2: Analysing a radio show
Show information
The podcast that I will be looking at is Gamers Rule Radio. Gamers Rule Radio, a weekly, hourly show where they talk about all aspects of GAMING. During the show, they have a main topic, news, social media, and other aspects. The host is called William Adams, with his group of gaming friends. You can contact all of them on Facebook, Twitter and You Tube.

Running order
The show starts of with a mo town/ indie as an opening theme. Then a female voice says "Sheffield Live!, made in Sheffield, made by you" This is done to relax the listener. There is a second message from Sheffield Live "Do you like Sheffield live, why not become a friend of Sheffield
DJs / Presenters
There are 5 host of the radio show programmers 1 of which is female. All of the host originate from Sheffield and have a strong background in there topics of chose.
African Beats has one presenter who not even African, he is just really like the African style of music. Peace In The Park has a different presenter every week but it is always a promoter for bands that are linked to Sheffield. Community live has different host every time as it is volunteer who run it and it is a different set of volunteers every time, the volunteers are always from Sheffield.
Audience
All of the show will have a similar age range as they are all aimed at student in the Sheffield area, which is 18 - 24 year of age. but they all aim at different niches except from Community live which is more news focused. As the niches are based on a clutches style of music there will not be much of a gender specific radio show as ins aim is to open people mind to different cultures music
