audience research summary (audience profile)
My audience profile shows :
Both men and women between the age of 16 and 24, In full time higher education who enjoy 'wiked', 'Billy Elliot' and 'Oliver'
research into platforms (in store radio)
Store Radio – Asda fm
Asda fm is based in all the asda stores around the UK. The Listening figures are high; this is because the consumers of the asda stores are included in the figures.
The station is funded by the intakes of the company, so the shows are mainly music based. Many companies have a store radio e.g. HMV but they are harder to come by that asda, which is easier to access.
research into platforms (local radio)
Local Radio – Touch fm
Touch fm is broadcast locally and only listeners within a certain small radius of the station can hear it. Most areas in the United Kingdom have a local Radio station e.g. Glasgow - Radio Clyde, Birmingham – BRMB and London (general and entertainment) – Capital Radio.
Local radio is not PSB, it is commercially funded so the content is restricted by the content of the advertisements.
research into platforms (international radio)
International Radio – Radio 1
Radio 1 broadcast not just to the United Kingdom but the show is available in other countries as well. The show is PSB, because the show is not funded commercially the station is able to be versatile in their programming.
BBC world service is also International. This helps to keeps listening figures high as listeners from foreign origin are included, as are listeners on the internet and digital television.

research into differences between PSB and commercial radio
PSB - Public service broadcasting includes television, radio and all other outlets that the media content can be seen or heard e.g. The Internet. the BBC is the main british public service broadcaster in the UK. The British 'public' payed a licensing fee of £142.50 a year, thats £11.88 a months or 40p a day between April 2009 and March 2010. the licensing fee has now gone up £145.50 a year for a Technicolor television license.
The public, because of this licensing fee expect a high quality of broadcasting and programming, showing versatility.
the british broadcasting company ltd employed John Reith as general manager , and then in 1923 became Managing Director, and made the BBC what it is today, and therefore creating the Reithian values ( to inform, educate and entertain ) which are still in play today.
Commercial - all other commercial television channels and radio stations in the United Kingdom have to use advertisments to fund their programming, e.g. ITV and Touch fm.
Advertising on the Radio enable the station to claim a fee off the company requesting distribution of their advertisments.
Therefore supply the station or channel with funding to broadcast.

blood brothers review

Blood Brothers Musical review
The recently refurbished ‘west end musical’ blood brothers, written by Willy Russell and now Directed by Bob Thomson, had brought smiles and tears to all that watch it.
This moving play, with a new cast had has been said to be “Outstanding” and “Brilliant!” with most praising Niki Evans’ performance as Mrs Johnston saying “What a voice!” The general consensus from the audience has been particularly positive.
The Play is about two brothers that have been separated at birth and are then brought to close encounters due to anger. One living with his natural mother (Mrs Johnston), and the other with her employer; abusing him since he was young.
The play lasts 2hrs and 45mins, which will go very quickly as the show draws you in.
The main reason that the show has done so well, is definitely due to the cast, which is unfortunate because the director and the cast change regularly.
There have been 133 reviews on the reviewcentre.com from the audience and the overall average came out at 4.4 out of 5, this was including one professional critic review and value for money.

I’m Jessica and you’re listening to your regular update of west end news!
Sister act the musical is on at the London Palladium seven days a week and has had excellent reviews saying it’s funny, outrageous but very tasteful and suitable for all ages. A New mother Superior was revealed recently to be Sally Dexter after Whoopi Goldberg played her role for just three weeks in august. The new show nun has made appearances in Billy Elliott as Teacher Mrs Wilkinson and Bad Girls the Musical back in 2007at the Garrick Theatre, alongside her the Blue singer Simon Webb playing Curtis Shank and Dad’s Army’s Ian Lavender playing Monsignor. The show will unfortunately end this month on the 30th after a four month run, but will be replaced by none other than the Wizard of Oz.
The show starring Danielle Hope starts next year, and they are getting ready as tickets are on sale now! The hit show hosted by Graham Norton “Over the Rainbow” finished over the summer, and left us with a vivacious and daring Dorothy. The show is on seven days a week.
Chicago is coming up to the end of its five year run next year, and everyone involved in the fantastic show case is absolutely devastated it’s going to end. BUT, the powers that be have decided to tour the US, so it sounds like it’s not quite over yet, as the show has done so well in the UK. Starting in Florida, then to Ohio and Orlando and then to Memphis the show will only be in the states for a month. The tickets are on sale and you can purchase them online at www.chicagothemusical.com
That’s all from me today guys, back to you .....
