Analysing News Bulletins On Radio Stations

In this part of my blog i will be focusing on how news is represented on radio stations, this will help me when it is time for me to make my radio station. It will allow me to see how real radio stations have incorporated news into their running order. Whilst listening i will also be able to see how the radio is structured with adverts, weather and other key things i must include in order for my radio show to sound authentic.
I am going to be listening to 2 radio stations that have broadcasted at the same time on the same day, by doing this i will be able to see the running order of the two radio stations and to see if they share any of the same stories and then i will be able compare their news structure. I will be comparing these radio stations because they are from completely different genre of radio and they target a completely different audience.
I am going to be using the tune in radio app, this allows me to play back and listen again to the radio show, on some websites they also have an option to listen again, but i prefer using the tune in radio app because it is much easier to find and listen to the radio show.

These are the two news stations that i will be covering for my blog.

KISS- It is a UK radio station which broadcasts on FM and a national DAB, it specialises in hip hop, R&B, urban and electronic dance music. Kiss targets a younger audience (15-24), it is an upbeat and cool radio station to listen too.

ABSOLUTE RADIO- This is another UK based radio show, it plays popular rock music, it is played across the UK. They target 24-44 year olds, they have a much larger target audience compared to kiss.
