Results

Where do you listen to the radio?



The results show that 55% of the audience asked listened to the radio in the car, this backs up the idea that it is travelling to and from work like suggested in the first questionnaire. 35% listened to the radio around the house which would suggest it is in the background perhaps while housework and cooking etc are being done. 10% of people listened to the radio at work, however this is likely to be in a certain job, office jobs people don’t tend to listen to the radio so this could be the case for self employed people.

How many presenters do you prefer on a radio show?


The results show that there is correlation to show that people preferred more presenters on a radio show than less. 5 being preferred by 33%, 4 was preferred by 27%, 3 by 20%, 2 by 13% and 1 presenter preferred by just 7%. This will help me when creating my radio clip, I now know that it will be preferred by the audience that there are more than 2 people, it wouldn’t be necessary to have 5 for my clip as it is only 5 minutes long so it would complicate things, however if in the future I was to create a radio show I understand that more characters and personalities in one show does appeal to the audience.

What is your preferred part of the radio show?





The results to this question show that people didn't seem to drift towards one particular answer, it seems that it is a matter of preference therefore all areas of the show are valued and a credit to the show. However, the results showed that the most popular was music, 30% of people asked chose this answer, with the next favourite being interviews with 25% of people preferring this. Celebrity 'gossip' was the favourite of 20% of people, however live lounge was only voted by 15% and news just 10%. This therefore suggests that the news is not a favourite of the show, however the news is an important part of a radio show; as shown before radio is a very good way to get information and entertainment out to a vast number of people, therefore it is important for news to be on the radio. It is likely that people agree it is vital for news to be on radio shows however they just wouldn't choose it as their favourite in a questionnaire as it is not a form of entertainment unlike music.

Which radio station do you mostly listen to?

The results show that Radio 1 was the most popular radio station amongst those asked, 35% chose it as being the station they mostly listened to. Capital was also another favourite, with 20% of votes; the results show that the least listened to amongs those asked was eage and heart, both with only 5%. However this could be to do with aspects such as Capital and Radio 1 being very well known radio stations and their well known reputation of being an entertaining radio station with both stations having benefits such as Radio 1 do their 'big weekend' and Chris Moyles (their main morning presenter) has his own chat show now also, which is good advertisement for them. Capital also hold a 'Jingle Bell Ball' and 'Summertime Ball' every year at the o2 arena in London, therefore a very big event; this would make good advertisment for the radio station.
