Evaluation of my radio project

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
i think that my show can be considered a relatively descent use of real media products as it uses many media conventions.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
my radio show doesnt aim at a particular social group as it is aimed at the majority of social groups. my show should appeal to a mass audience due to the process used to select the music played, which envolves the most downloaded songs within the past 7 days from itunes.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
in order for my radio show to be properly distributed it would need a lot more funding to take off the the ground. Many purchases would be needed such as equiptment and premeses to operate from. i would also need to rent out a radio frequency or a space on another channel, though this would be either very expensive or pointless as the most listened to shows are placed at optimum times such as rush hour.

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience that would most likely listen to my show would be those in the range found from my research. they would be from a variation of ages that are interested in the latest songs in the charts.
dominantly the audience will be from the age of 16 upwards. This will be due to the hours of the show, as they would be quite early in the morning, when everyone is on there way to work/school.

How did you attract/address your audience?
i attracted my audience by just being entirely an awesome radio show. i dont insult my consumers as certain radio shows do and i try to keep everyone interested, not only by the music played, but also by the interesting guests and topics of conversation.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product?
whilst making this project i have learnt how to use the program garageband, though i still have a lot to learn. i have enjoyed using this program, though my bias against macs is still present. if the program was available for windows i would definately use it all the time. i fear that without the use of this program i would not have been able to accomplish this project.
