RADIO!

Radio News;

WINOL have been allowed to take over sound radio every Tuesday in order to make a basis for our hourly news bulletins.

The radio news day is an early one, so that we are able to find and script the day’s news. Then at 10am the first of the news bulletins is aired, followed by a variety of radio shows throughout the day. Nadine and Myself present the first show of WINOLs take over, and we are followed by sports week and the final show is presented by Harry. 

Week one;

Me and Nadine decided to aim our show at young females, choosing to use gossip and celeb magazines as a basis, as well as current reality TV shows and WINOL features, such as doctor fashion. The first show went really well, I had never done any radio stuff before so it was new and slightly daunting, but I survived. Unfortunately, we were so concerned with content and news bulletins we forgot to record the show!

I managed to get a story and an ‘and finally’ in the bulletins that were played throughout the day – these were the original scripts, but they were changed to fit the script and timings.

Drinkers of Hampshire have been asked to lay off of booze for the launch of a new campaign in support of Alcohol Awareness Week.
Twenty per cent of adults in the county are classified as ‘increased risk’ drinkers and pose major threats to their health.
In a statement yesterday, Hampshire’s director of Public Health said: ‘two alcohol free days a weeks is good sensible health advice.’ This will be the focus of the ‘Give me a break’ campaign.

Week two;

This week was less daunting and felt a lot more comfortable in the studio. Before our show began we experienced some problems – the radio broadcasting software crashed and so we had to use a different studio last minute. Maybe next week we will check the studio equipment early, like we do for the TV bulletin so that things go smoothly. The content of our show followed the same structure as the week before, gossip, TV and features.

I managed to get another story in the later news bulletin this week.  

Police are cracking down on troublemakers in Stanmore after receiving a large number of complaints reporting crime in the area.

They are putting a six-month dispersal order in place from December first, which will involve moving on troublesome groups and those under 16 unaccompanied by an adult after 9pm.

Anyone refusing to leave the area could face a fine of up to five thousand pounds or up to three months in prison.
