Coursework 1 assignment For this coursework I will be reviewing the differences between radio stations. The radio stations which I will be comparing on is, local radio E.g. Mercia and national radio station e.g. Radio 1. I will be comparing how each of them portrait the news and examine the differences and, why I think they are like this. I will be reviewing Kix 96 as my local radio station, and as my national radio station I will be reviewing Radio one. I have chosen to review how the news is portrait by the two radio stations because, it is the one thing, which, can be easily compared. Both of these pieces are broadcasted at 4 o clock, this is done for each comparison to be fair. The First difference you notice from the two radio stations is, the almost laid back approach from Radio 1 on, reporting the news. This is done by a variety of methods, the background music, the editing of the piece, the narration of the bulletin and the amount of detail and time in each news piece which suits the target audience. The duration of each news piece for Radio one is about 15-20 seconds the amount of detail in each news bulltin is limited because of this fact. This does two things, it gives the audience the bare facts to the new pieces, and it gives the listners what they want. The editing side of Radio one is very simulair to their image it is very slick. The amount of time between
Talk Shows.
Talk Shows Talk shows remain one of the most popular and influential forms of television programming. Trisha has been one of the longest running talk shows left on British TV. For this reason its analysis should highlight why the talk show genre is so popular and how it attracts its audience. Right from the outset Trisha uses numerous bright, primary colours on her show. Its eye-catching, simple and effective. We associate the bright, cleanliness of the colours with Trisha (the host). Trisha is clear and positive just like the colours. The guests on the show are dressed casually, although there accents are slightly common. The guests look of a lower class. The everyday natures of the guests are important to the show. Jason Mittell writes in his article that talk shows continue to be seen as trashy, because the guests on the programme are no more special then the people watching it. However this is a reason why talk shows remain so popular. As Mittell himself writes, the viewer of talk shows wants to feel a sense of cultural, intellectual and social superiority (reader). He believes the viewer gains pleasure from these kind of shows because they are made to feel better then those on the programme. The viewer feels better in their own lives, for the reason that they feel theirs is much better then those on the programme. The viewers are in a position of power, morally
The fundamental problem of layout planning for assembly is to determine the minimum number of stations (workers) and assign tasks to each station so that a desired level of output is achieved.
Defining the Layout Problem The fundamental problem of layout planning for assembly is to determine the minimum number of stations (workers) and assign tasks to each station so that a desired level of output is achieved. Notice several implications in this statement. First, the design focuses on achieving a desired level of productive capability.(output capacity). Second, if tasks are to be assigned to stations, the sequence of tasks must be considered. Which tasks must be done first, and which ones may follow? Finally, our concern is attaining desired output efficiently, without using unnecessary input resources. Capacity, Sequencing and Efficiency Let's illustrate these ideas with an example. A manufacturer is developing plans for a facility to make 320 aluminum storm windows. The desired minimum daily output capacity is 320 windows. Figure-I and Table-I show the tentative assembly line layout. The operations manager wants to know if this is a good design and if better designs are possible.

How Far Does Contemporary Radio Provide Audiences With Genuine Diversity of Listening Choice?
How Far Does Contemporary Radio Provide Audiences With Genuine Diversity of Listening Choice? It is generally believed that audiences are provided with a diverse listening choice but this only seems to be true for national radio stations. These are the BBC stations, Talk Sport, Virgin and Classic FM. The BBC also provides regional radio stations which are different to the independent local radio stations on offer which are based on middle of the road popular music as it attracts the masses and, therefore, the advertisers. The regional BBC stations focus more on local issues and discussions with less music. The BBC provides five national radio stations each with a different remit. Radio One is based on modern music with different types at different times of day, which are aimed at different audiences. It is aimed at sixteen to twenty-five year olds and plays all types of modern music. However, around 1995 changes were made as it was going out of date. The target audience was twenty-five to forty as the original DJs were still being used. The BBC was being assessed for privatisation so a new controller was taken on and became more diverse and cutting edge, which was different to the independent national and local stations. Radio Two also went through changes. Its audience was also ageing and didn't have a unique selling point. In an effort to attract a younger
Report On Village Network For Young Black Men
REPORT ON VILLAGE NETWORK FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN Setting the Scene:- The Village Network is a six months development programme, which comprises one on one support, group sessions which encourages peer support, and a network of partners from the private, public and voluntary sector. It's a model that was piloted with lone parents in which 11 of the participants, work or running successful businesses. Work continues with others still going into work or having the confidence to look for work placements themselves. Project Funded by LSC and the Employer Coalition. Because of the success of project, we decided to reshape the model for some of the most challenging black men, some of whom were ex-offenders or simply not connected or involves themselves in anything. Key to the Village Network is a residential programme that helps to build the team. For the women, we went to a hotel for 24 hours. Understood that the young men needed more of a challenge, we went on weekend residential. Quite a challenge some of the young men couldn't attend because they had to attend court. Apart from a few dissenting voices, the residential was a success with many benefits. Our first group session was very successful. With over 20 participants. We had four very successful black businessmen talking about themselves, their expenses and their achievements. It was very interesting but what transpired

Introduction pg.3 2. UK Position pg.4 3. Comparison pg.8 4. Conclusion pg.10 5. Bibliography pg.11 Introduction The Lisbon Agenda is a programme brought by the EU (A8, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia) to make Europe competitive in the economic and knowledge- driven world today by 2010. It was initiated in 2000 but due to failure of several related procedures was delayed and relaunched in 2005. Specifically UK's target set is for it to become competitive in the global economy, looking at where it'll be in the investment in skills and strategies for employment. UK aims to create a balance of fiscal sustainability and funds for welfare allowing ageing population to be a part of this equation and making Britain a knowledge-driven society by giving more young people necessary education, training (skills) where the 25plus and 50 plus making either education or employment a realistic opportunity channelled through the emergence of innovation, technology, speed of learning, getting people off benefits. I will be looking at what measures should be taken to

Taking the BBC and at least one other foreign public broadcaster as your focus, discuss the challenges faced by public service broadcasters in the global multi-channel market. Introduction Radio Telefis Eireann (RTE) is the national public service broadcasting organisation in Ireland with a remit overseeing and operating two television stations, three radio stations, a concert orchestra, a symphony orchestra, and also publishing Irelands best-selling magazine `The RTE Guide`. There are some two thousand people employed by RTE, most of which are based at the Montrose-Donnybrooke site in Dublin. Historically, broadcasting in Ireland developed through the civil service structures and is therefore seen by some commentators to have evolved towards a certain bureaucratic style of administration. While for a time the only indigenous broadcasting organisation within the state, RTE has always had to compete with the UK and other broadcasting output. More recently, the further development of independent radio and television has led to a slow down in RTE's advertising revenue, occurring at a time when revenue from the license fee was stabilising (1996-97). Section 1 * Aims and outlines At the beginning of the twenty-first century, terrestrial broadcasters, in particular those who operate as public service broadcasters, find themselves having to exist within an ever increasing
Communicational Technology.
Communicational Technology Parts of the electromagnetic spectrum including radio waves, visible light and infra-red are used in communication. In 1896 Guiglielmo Marconi used electromagnetic waves to make a wireless telegraph system. This type of wireless technology is vital for communicating in places where wires would not be practical such as moving objects such as cars and planes. Visible light is energy that can be detected by our eyes. White light is made up of all the colours of the spectrum. Light travels in a wave and is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In a vacuum all these waves travel at the same speed which is at the speed of light. Radio waves easily pass through clouds and fog and can be sent long distances through the atmosphere from the radio transmitter to the receiver. Infra red and visible light have limited applications in 'free space' type systems as they have a very short wavelength compared with radio waves and easily absorbed and scattered by the atmosphere. Examples of communication using visible light include traffic lights and lighthouses. Examples of communication using infrared are laptops to printers and remote controls to television. Infra-red and visible lights are far more useful in communication systems when sent down optical fibres. WAVELENGTH CLASS USE 00 km - 1 km Long wave Commercial radio km - 100 m Medium wave
“Given the growth of the commercial sector, the funding of BBC radio from the licence fee is no longer necessary” Discuss.
Donna Staton 9916626 Radio Production Adam Briggs "Given the growth of the commercial sector, the funding of BBC radio from the licence fee is no longer necessary" Discuss. What is the difference between commercial and BBC radio? The main difference between commercial and BBC radio is their sources of funding, Commercial radio is so called because it relies on the income that advertisers pay to air their commercial on the radio station. This method of funding can be good to encourage competition between stations to provide the best radio show so that people tune in. The higher the number of listeners, the more an advertiser will pay to reach the audience. BBC radio is funded by a licence fee, which everyone must pay who owns a television. The focus on the television side of the BBC means that the financial pressure to produce a good radio station is less and therefore many people question whether or not there is any need to keep funding radio in this way. What is the licence fee? The licence fee was first introduced in November 1922 and was set at 10 shillings. It's aim was to fund a central broadcasting station that could be received by those who owned a radio. The British Broadcasting Company (later changed to British Broadcasting Corporation) was set up and began to transmit a programme called 2LO. The company was set up with it's main aim being to sell radio
Why did groups like the Beatles and The Rolling Stones have such great Impact during the 1960's.
Why did groups like the Beatles and The Rolling Stones have such great Impact during the 1960's One of the many reasons that The Beatles and The Rolling Stones had such a big impact on society in the 1960's was because they showed the voices of the teenagers in that period of time. Teenagers no longer wanted to look like their parents and these groups shared the same opinions. These groups were keeping up to date with the latest fashions, styles and attidudes of the teenagers. Fashion was beginning to change, teenagers no longer wanted to look like their parents. One of the shops which changed teenager's opinions was called Bazaar. Bazaar was a shop owned by a young art student called Mary Quant. At the time women always forced themselves into corsets or griddles to keep a paticular shape. Mary Quant wanted to change all this selling fashion she described as "Allowing people to run, to jump, to leap and retain their precious freedom". The older generation felt very affended by the new fashion craze. Twiggy a model caused a stir when she was wearing a mini skirt four inches above her knees to the Melbourne Cup (The most important horse race in Australia) A week of newspaper headlines followed it. More shops and mail order companies were beginning to sell the new fashion but the fashions didn't seem to last for very long with the mini skirt lasting a few years then the
