My Radio Show
Serene FM(Doncaster)Meditation and Nature
Proposal
My Radio Show will focus on creating a calm and natural environment for everyone who listens. It will help listeners soothe stress and keep in touch with wildlife, as well as giving tips and ways of meditation. Ideas for my radio show include:
- Call-in with listeners and hear their ways of remining calm under pressure.
- Calming music with atmospheric instruments and earthly noises (e.g. bird songs, water running, insect noises)
- Local wildlife reports and recommendations on garden life (mention the garden life magazine itself)
The target audience for my radio advert is quite board as pretty much anyone could listen to it. It could be for babies trying to sleep, adult workers after a stressful day and everyone in between. However, I think most teenagers or children may find my radio show boring, so an older audience is priority. The psychometrics for my audience includes strugglers, the resigned, reformers and mainstreamers as they may need assistance with mental health the most. As for the use and gratification of my radio show, its two main purposes will be to entertain and inform. It will be entertaining because of the sounds and music it provides as well as informative on how the listeners can do their own meditation while teaching them about the nature around them.
My show would air during mornings and evenings with relaxing music playing through the day, and natural white-noises overnight. This is because mornings and evenings are common times when people are going to or going from work and would need to wind down and relax. The overnight noise is great for people trying to sleep and the relaxing music during the day can help with studying and doing work at a calm pace.
Although the radio's jingle with have a consistent tune, it will be created using different music instruments each time, like steel tongue drums or xylophones. These instruments will be needed while recording and count as necessary equipment. Other equipment includes a microphone to speak in, headphones to hear my own audio and an audio processor.
Scripts
My show will be structured in a scheduled format with different events at different times. There will be calming music accompanied by relaxing stories and visualizations that are told verbally. Although there will be lots of scripted elements such as the meditation methods and questions asked to the listeners, some improvised moments will be necessary such as with the phone-ins. Advert breaks will be in between segments but not during music breaks. If so, there will be an announcement to say the adverts starting in order to not disrupt the quiet nature with loud, obnoxious adverts. After the adverts there will be another alert indicating that the radio show will continue and what segment will be discussed next.

Planning Documents
I don't think any risk assessment will be necessary as my radio station counts as armature radio, meaning I'm completely dependent on my own safety in my own studio. With that said, health and safety is not a concern for me as most of the recording will be done in my own home with a low risk of harm. The most hazardous risk in this is tripping over any wires, overheating any of the technology, spilling water or liquid on the computers or hurting my posture and eyes from staring at a screen (which I'm already used to). I am also fully dependent on my own budget, which will be used not only to pay for recording equipment but also for health care products and relaxing meditational tools. These products can also be used as a profiting method as promoting one of these products can turn into a sponsorship.
I plan to make my jingles using natural instruments playing two simple tunes, one for a beginning segment and one for an ending segment. I plan to do this because it can help a listener follow along with what is happening in the radio show, even if they skip to different parts or, if live, tune in at different times. I chose to use quiet natural instruments to create these jingles because it fits the calm, nature feel to the radio show, that something more loud and electrical couldn't do. I would use an acoustic guitar as opposed to an electric guitar.
