LO1: Content of public service radio

 Content of public service radio

Public service radios such as BBC radio stations are radios that are funded by the tv licenses.

Radio stations have lots of content. At the top of the BBC radio pages we have the songs that have been played on the radio, the radio schedule link, what presenters are on live radio (and how long they will be on) and what presenter is next on the radio. These are located at the top as it is important information about the radio so viewers can see the information straight away.

Below this, there are articles about what has happened with BBC radio 1 and of up and coming BBC live shows and the famous artists that are attending them. The live lounge shows a live stream video of singers and artists who are at BBC radio 1. You can watch these later on BBC iPlayer if you miss them.

The presenters introduce themselves and they tell you what song you are listening to and the artist.  The presenters also do interviews with artists about their music. 

They include catchy music in the background when talking.
