E6 Radio

Our commission was to produce a Radio Show for our college. This included research techniques based on

other radio stations. We then asked 50 students what they wanted to listen to on the radio. Finding out what they enjoyed helped us start to put together our radio podcast. We also did research on other radio stations. What they played, what people thought of it and what

they do when they aren’t playing music.

Introduction

Ideas for our Radio Show

Putting our ideas on a mind map gave us a clear idea of possibilities for our radio show.

Secondary Research

Here’s a link to the ratings for Xfm.
