LO1: Task 2: Analysing a talk and music radio show

a). Running order
In this section I will be discussing the running order of 'Spirit of the Wapentake' and discuss the structure of the show. The show begins with different advertisements  these are adverts such as the Sheffield Live advertisement, heating, taxis, a restaurant, ladies fashion, expose magazine and another taxi advertisement, which lasts for 4 minutes and 25 seconds. 
After the advertisements the host introduces the show and by starting it off, they play some music. Each music played throughout the show, are all different genres to attract a wide range audience.They then interview some guests that are opening up a new studio called Hybrid Studio which is a dance company, they come on the show to promote their company to get some of the Peace in the Park listeners involved as it may interest this type of audience, the company is in the local area (Heeley). More songs are then played throughout the whole of the show from different genres that attract many different listeners. To finish of the show the Sheffield Live advertisement is then played at the end, this is maybe how each show may finish.


b). DJ/Presenters
 Presented by Graham Marshall & Sinead Rankin, with help from rock gods Bona and Andy. Live from Studio 1 every Wednesday teatime 5 till 7.

c). Content

This radio show plays the best rock music from the last 40 years or so as well as letting you know the latest rock news, gig reviews and local rock gig information. We also publicize new local, national and international rock bands. Each show is painstakingly researched and lovingly crafted. Unfortunately, all that goes out of the window as soon as the sliders are cranked up.The Wap, the Buccaneer Bar and Rebels are long gone and some of us may be looking a bit worse for wear, but the Sheffield rock scene is still alive and kicking with great rock pubs and live music venues all over the place.

d). Target audience

Spirit of the Wapentake's target audience are the local community of sheffield, this is because their shows are based around the local people as they can get involved with some of the show just by volunteering. The target age are young adult and older, this is because there aren't any children's shows that are broadcasted as most of the shows are based on older subjects. This radio station is aimed at those people who are into rock music, this is because this podcast consists of playing rock music.
