What to Focus On

  • Audience analysis is crucial for effective radio programming.
  • Factors include literacy, language, occupation, income, and infrastructure.
  • Programmes must be tailored to meet specific audience needs.
  • Radio communicates only through sound.
  • Human voice delivers content and emotion.
  • Sound effects create environment and realism.
  • Spoken word formats: announcements, talks, interviews, discussions, documentaries, dramas, commentaries, magazine programmes, and news.
  • Music formats include film music, classical, folk, and pop.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Radio formats are only about music — if it plays songs, it’s a music format.

Sound effects are just background noise and not essential to radio programmes.

Only All India Radio can broadcast news, so private FM stations can also do it.

Memory Tips
