Unit 44 Music Based Programming
Unit introduction
Jobs in the radio industry often involve planning, producing or presenting music sequences,
or all three. There are literally hundreds of music radio stations – national, regional, local,
student, hospital and community stations – which organise their output within lengthy
sequence programmes of three to five hours duration.
In-store audio, once distributed exclusively by recorded means, is increasingly being
delivered live, either by satellite or online. As a result, differences in content between in-store
audio and radio broadcasting have become less marked than ever before. Specialist
production companies make in-store programming for supermarkets and other retailers.
Music-based programming in radio and for in-store use requires a number of pre-production
skills, including selection and scheduling according to the purpose of the material and the
contexts within which it is to be heard. In both cases, its impact can be considerably enhanced
by the incorporation of other elements, from branding to infotainment. Sometimes an element
of audience interaction can make such programming even more interesting.
This unit will enable learners to develop skills in music-based programming for two different
but closely related contexts in the radio and sound recording industries: radio broadcasting
and in-store audio. Learners will develop an understanding of this type of programming in
order to inform their production work and will also develop their ability to explain how the
production choices made are suitable for the intended audiences.
Learning outcomes
On completionofthisunit a learnershould:
1 Understand different types and styles of music-based programming
2 Be able to create music sequences for different audiences
3 Be able to incorporate added speech and feature content into music sequences
4 Be able to review own music-based programmes with reference to purpose and audience.
Different types and styles ofmusic based programming
Music-based programming:
Contemporary hit radio (also known as CHR, Contemporary Hits, Hit List, Current Hits,
Hit Music, Top 40, or Pop Radio) is a radio format that focuses on playing current and
recurrent popular music as determined by the Top 40 music charts. There are several
subcategories, dominantly focusing on rock, pop, or urban music. Used alone, CHR most
often refers to the CHR/pop format. The term Contemporary Hit Radio was coined in the
early 1980s by Radio & Records magazine to designate Top 40 stations which continued to
play hits from all musical genres as pop music splintered into Adult contemporary, urban
contemporary and other formats. The term Top 40 is also used to refer to the actual list of hit
songs, and, by extension, to refer to pop music in general. The format became especially
popular in the sixties as radio stations constrained disc jockeys to numbered play lists in the
wake of the payola scandal.
Recurrent radio refers to a group of songs still frequently aired on a contemporary hit radio
station even several months or even years after the initial debut. It is also used to describe
core songs in other radio formats as well. Most charts have special rules to determine when a
song has become recurrent, at which point they are removed from current charts (such as the
Billboard Hot 100) and placed on special "recurrent charts." Recurrent charts tend to be more
static, with less week-to-week changes in popularity, than current charts.
Other radio formats include;
Gold,
Easy listening,
Classical,
Specialist;
From chosen eras, eg rock ‘n’ roll, seventies, current;
Selection criteria, eg aesthetics, target audience, constructing a narrative, audience
interactivity, Top 40 charts
TASKS
Name a radio station that plays predominately each of the following radio formats
Adult Contemporary BBC Radio 2, BBC
Radio 2 country,
BBC radio 2
Eurovision, heart
London, Magic
105.4 FM, Real
Radio, Redstone
FM, The Wire.
Recurrent Gold, easy
listening, classical,
specialist, from
chosen eras, eg rock
“n” roll, seventies,
current. And the
tracks tend to be
more static with
fewer changes week
to week in
popularity, than
current charts.
Easy Listening Easy listening is for
the older generation
who are more into
the classics rather
than the more
current charts, so
this would require
the research into the
type of audience
that likes this sort
of music and it
would regularly
come up with the
older generation
with older and
middle aged people.
Classical Classical is mainly
based on the culture
choice of the
audience and this
culture is mainly
found in the older
generation and the
middle aged
generation and a
very select few of
the younger
generation who are
interested in the
classical era of
music
Rock n Roll Rock is a very old
type of music going
back to the fifties
and has always
influenced many
artists to branch out
to this sort of brand
of music
Indie Rock Indie rock is a
vague term used to
identify rock artists
that are or were
unsigned, or have
signed to small
record labels, rather
than major record
labels. It may also
describe artists
which have a
specific "sound",
and is therefore a
genre, although this
label is contested
by many
Asian When you are
playing music that
is normally heard in
other countries and
is being played in
your country and it
would be heard in a
certain radio station
Gold Gold will continue
on
four frequencies
– London on 1548
AM, Manchester
on 1458 AM,
Derby on 945 and
Nottingham on
999 AM.
Smooth Radio is
already available
on FM in these
areas
Types:
Broadcastradio (publicservice,commercial)
The two types of broadcast radio stations each develop their playlists for a variety of reasons.
Each of the public service stations have specific demographic profiles that their music is
supposed to appeal to whereas commercial radio stations intended target audience dictates the
music that their station plays.
Internet radio (publicservice,commercial);
Internet radio services are usually accessible from anywhere in the world—for example, one
could listen to an Australian station from Europe or America. Some major networks like CBS
Radio and Citadel Broadcasting (except for news/talk and sports stations) in the US, and
Chrysalis in the UK restrict listening to in-country because of music licensing and advertising
concerns. Internet radio remains popular among expatriates and listeners with interests that
are often not adequately served by local radio stations (such as eurodance, progressive rock,
ambient music, folk music, classical music, and stand-up comedy). Internet radio services
offer news, sports, talk, and various genres of music—every format that is available on
traditional radio stations.
In-storeaudio (promotional,ambient)
Many major shopping centres and major retailers use in store audio for a couple of major
reasons. These can be for promotional purposes where songs are used to promote products
and sales or where they choose to play ambient sounds to create a relaxing mood or
atmosphere while patrons wander around the premises.
Styles:
Tasks
Listen to a radio show of your choice for 1 hour and take note on the following aspects
ratio of speech or other audio to music
(How much time was given to music/general
speech/ news & Weather etc?)
In the first few minutes of the radio station
starting I heard 2 songs with no added speech
or jingles and each one of the songs was 3
minutes long and at the end of the two songs
the jingle was spoke along with 2 minutes’
worth of speech included explaining what is
coming up later in the station such as the
weather and the news and that would take up
to 5 minute of the stations time and then back
to the music.
branding and identification (How many times
do you hear the station name/logo/jingle)
Throughout listening to the radio station I
heard the logo and the name of the station
said over 6 times between each song. And
each jingle takes up to 20 seconds to
complete and then it carries on to the next
song.
Was the content chosen for aesthetic reasons The radio station was trying to stick to the
classic rock style because it was what people
who tuned into the radio station wanted to
hear because they would send in requests in
of different song that stayed true to the genre
of music.
Was it suitable for its intended target
audience
The target audience of the radio show are
younger adults and middle aged people who
would have listened to the music when they
were younger and would want to hear it on
this radio station and the DJ stays true to this
and plays respectful songs from that era.
Presenters style:
Personality
Anonymous
The presenter’s style is very laid back and
relaxed not rushing anything casually
transferring between songs, with a chilled out
personality who loves the music he plays and
knows a lot of things about the type of music
he is playing, and the genre and style of the
music is clear.
vocal delivery:
conversational
He delivers his voice in such a way that if
you just wanted to just calmly listen to it you
wouldn’t be distracted if you were in mid
conversation and on the station he talks to the
informative
listeners as if they are his friends and talks to
them casually not rushing them into anything
if there is a competition or a request point in
the broadcast.
Be able to create music sequences for different audiences
Our assignment task relates to producing a 1 hour radio show for a designated target
audience.
Content: specific formats, eg CHR, AC, gold, recurrent, easy listening; appropriate to time
period (breakfast, daytime, drive-time, evening); duration (for broadcasting, for internet, for
in-store)

Discuss why you made the choices above
Context 1 I chose this playlist because I wanted a mixture of the different playlists I created
to kind of blend in with all the formats so everyone can get a feel for different kinds of music
such as alternative, classic rock and Spanish music to have a cool but controlled playlist of
easy to listen to music.
Context 2 this next context is for the more classic rocker and the music is more from the last
generation and with the classic guitar solos it would be perfect for a guitar shop that
specialises in making good classic guitars and other instruments.
Be able to incorporate addedspeech and feature content into music
sequences
Content:
Live reads, eg dry, over beds; Cousin to the ad-libbed commercial, live read refers to when a
DJ reads an advertiser’s spot on the air, delivered from a script, fact sheet or personal
knowledge. It can also refer to when the DJ “endorses” the advertiser’s goods or services.
A link into pre-recorded material; for radio, eg interviews, feature items, traffic bulletins,
competitions; can relate to a piece of material being pre-recorded that can be used numerous
times on different shows. A presenter can be talking about a topic and then cue an interview
or sound bite that adds depth to a story.
Content for in-store, eg sales and promotion, commercial messages, infotainment;
transitional materials as punctuation, eg jingles, stings are used on loop in many occasions
and are usually pre-recorded. It makes more sense than a voice over artist repeating the same
script throughout a period of time.
Purpose: Adding speech and feature content into a radio show has numerous different
purposes. On the radio the purpose of this content could be for ratings (An interview with a
famous person) to aid the format (adding detail when identifying a song that was played),
public service (News broadcasts fall in this category), commercial (Advertising or live reads),
regulatory issues (, sponsorship; in-store, e.g. increased sales, brand awareness, customer
retention
Be able to reviewown music-basedprogrammes withreference to
purpose and audience
After the broadcast of most radio shows, station managers and number crunchers want to
gauge the response from the audience. Ratings figures dictate advertising revenues and
listener satisfaction with content can determine whether they tune in again next time. For this
reason it is important for us to thoroughly review our programmes to assess it on a variety of
factors.
Key Words
Aesthetics for the purpose of this unit we will define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art,
culture and nature”.
Accessibility is the degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is available to
as many people as possible
TASK
In class we will listen to a 30 minute section of a chosen groups radio show where we have
previously identified its target audience and what the show usually entails. Make some bullet
point notes to comment on the following;
Fitness for purpose
Compared with
original intentions
Technical Qualities
Aesthetic qualities
Accessibility to
target audience
Audience response: quantitative, eg ratings; qualitative, eg by appreciation index (AI);
questionnaires; focus groups; peer reviews
TASK
In class we will attempt to gather information regarding the audience response to your radio
show. This information can then be used for your assignment task.
Quantitative
Research (Who
listened)
Qualitative Research
(Why did they listen)
How will you gather
this information?

Different types and styles ofmusic based programming Music-based programming: Contemporary hit radio (also known as CHR, Contemporary Hits, Hit List, Current Hits, Hit Music, Top 40, or Pop Radio) is a radio format that focuses on playing current and recurrent popular music as determined by the Top 40 music charts. There are several subcategories, dominantly focusing on rock, pop, or urban music. Used alone, CHR most often refers to the CHR/pop format. The term Contemporary Hit Radio was coined in the early 1980s by Radio & Records magazine to designate Top 40 stations which continued to play hits from all musical genres as pop music splintered into Adult contemporary, urban contemporary and other formats. The term Top 40 is also used to refer to the actual list of hit songs, and, by extension, to refer to pop music in general. The format became especially popular in the sixties as radio stations constrained disc jockeys to numbered play lists in the wake of the payola scandal. Recurrent radio refers to a group of songs still frequently aired on a contemporary hit radio station even several months or even years after the initial debut. It is also used to describe core songs in other radio formats as well. Most charts have special rules to determine when a song has become recurrent, at which point they are removed from current charts (such as the Billboard Hot 100) and placed on special "recurrent charts." Recurrent charts tend to be more static, with less week-to-week changes in popularity, than current charts. Other radio formats include; Gold, Easy listening, Classical, Specialist; From chosen eras, eg rock ‘n’ roll, seventies, current; Selection criteria, eg aesthetics, target audience, constructing a narrative, audience interactivity, Top 40 charts

  • 7. Types: Broadcastradio (publicservice,commercial) The two types of broadcast radio stations each develop their playlists for a variety of reasons. Each of the public service stations have specific demographic profiles that their music is supposed to appeal to whereas commercial radio stations intended target audience dictates the music that their station plays. Internet radio (publicservice,commercial); Internet radio services are usually accessible from anywhere in the world—for example, one could listen to an Australian station from Europe or America. Some major networks like CBS Radio and Citadel Broadcasting (except for news/talk and sports stations) in the US, and Chrysalis in the UK restrict listening to in-country because of music licensing and advertising concerns. Internet radio remains popular among expatriates and listeners with interests that are often not adequately served by local radio stations (such as eurodance, progressive rock, ambient music, folk music, classical music, and stand-up comedy). Internet radio services offer news, sports, talk, and various genres of music—every format that is available on traditional radio stations. In-storeaudio (promotional,ambient) Many major shopping centres and major retailers use in store audio for a couple of major reasons. These can be for promotional purposes where songs are used to promote products and sales or where they choose to play ambient sounds to create a relaxing mood or atmosphere while patrons wander around the premises.

And each jingle takes up to 20 seconds to complete and then it carries on to the next song. Was the content chosen for aesthetic reasons The radio station was trying to stick to the classic rock style because it was what people who tuned into the radio station wanted to hear because they would send in requests in of different song that stayed true to the genre of music. Was it suitable for its intended target audience The target audience of the radio show are younger adults and middle aged people who would have listened to the music when they were younger and would want to hear it on this radio station and the DJ stays true to this and plays respectful songs from that era. Presenters style: Personality Anonymous The presenter’s style is very laid back and relaxed not rushing anything casually transferring between songs, with a chilled out personality who loves the music he plays and knows a lot of things about the type of music he is playing, and the genre and style of the music is clear. vocal delivery: conversational He delivers his voice in such a way that if you just wanted to just calmly listen to it you wouldn’t be distracted if you were in mid conversation and on the station he talks to the

  • 14. Be able to incorporate addedspeech and feature content into music sequences Content: Live reads, eg dry, over beds; Cousin to the ad-libbed commercial, live read refers to when a DJ reads an advertiser’s spot on the air, delivered from a script, fact sheet or personal knowledge. It can also refer to when the DJ “endorses” the advertiser’s goods or services. A link into pre-recorded material; for radio, eg interviews, feature items, traffic bulletins, competitions; can relate to a piece of material being pre-recorded that can be used numerous times on different shows. A presenter can be talking about a topic and then cue an interview or sound bite that adds depth to a story. Content for in-store, eg sales and promotion, commercial messages, infotainment; transitional materials as punctuation, eg jingles, stings are used on loop in many occasions and are usually pre-recorded. It makes more sense than a voice over artist repeating the same script throughout a period of time. Purpose: Adding speech and feature content into a radio show has numerous different purposes. On the radio the purpose of this content could be for ratings (An interview with a famous person) to aid the format (adding detail when identifying a song that was played), public service (News broadcasts fall in this category), commercial (Advertising or live reads), regulatory issues (, sponsorship; in-store, e.g. increased sales, brand awareness, customer retention
