LO1 task 2 Analysing a talk and music radio show

a). Walk a mile in my shoes/The golden years is ran weekly on wednesdays alternating from the 4pm and 3pm time slots every week. The schedule for this show is that at 7-9am Sheffield Uprising is ran, 9-11am Sheffield Live Jukebox is run, then 11am-12pm Keynote Club is run, 12-1pm Communities live is ran, 1-2pm A little Bit Racey is run, then 2-3pm Sheffield Live Jukebox is repeated, then 3-5pm Walk a mile is played, then 5-7pm Spirit of Wakentake is played, 7-9pm Aap ki Awaz, 9-11pm The Bassment is run and then finally the 11pm-1am slot is taken by The Mid Week Mix. This is ran in this order so that it caters to the need of the target audience. The time of 3/4pm is significant because it is often the time when retired adults have a cup of tea and a break from whatever they have been doing. wednesday is significant because it is midway through the week and this fit into the retired peoples spare time. This idea of a weekly programme fits into the idea of it becoming part of a weekly routine which then makes it familiar to people. This routine is good for advertisers as this means they are regularly exposed a large group of  potential customers to their product or service. This radio show doesn't have a jingle.

b).  This radio programme is produced and presents by both Kevin Resley, Steven Neil Roden. The main presenter is Kevin Resley as he always asks the questions. It is presented in quite a informal way. The presenters both use colloquial language and fillers like "er" or "um" that can be commonly associated with Yorkshire this helps the audience to connect with the presenters on a cultural level and understand them easier, however if a listener doesn't understand this Yorkshire accent and dialect it may make it difficult to understand.

c). This radio show is a talk and music show. They focus of the life and music of Elvis Presley, however they regularly play other rock & roll artists music. The Golden years is presented in a informal style so that it is entertaining to the listeners. The music that is played is always rock & roll whether it be Elvis or not. The sounds connoted in this music is a lot of guitar and singing. These sounds are a typical convention of this genre. In the perticular episode i listened too, they played a lot of music which really thinned out the talk show aspect of the radio show, for example only 2 minutes into the radio show they played the first song which was by Cheryln Sarkissian. This perticular episode featured song from the 1940s.

d).The target audience for The Golden Years is middle aged to older people aged 50-60, all ethnicity's and genders, American by culture, live in the suburbs and have an A, B disposable income. This is the target audience because as the radio show is mostly dedicated to Elvis Presley and artists similar to him in both music style and the time they were around, people who used to like Elvis or Rock and Roll in general in there youth or childhood might want to get back into this music, because they may like it or it might be for nostalgia reasons.
