Analysis of the questionnaire
 I have focused on 20 people when giving out my questionnaire out. My aim was to receive 10
female and 10 male responses. I have asked 20 people about radio with questions including the
range of radio stations, the variety of topics which may intrigue the listeners as well as many
other questions which would give me an idea to what specific genders are intrigued by, what their
expectations are and what should be cov3ered when listening to radio magazine show. The
questionnaire allowed me to investigate what I need to do in order to create a broadcast quality 3
minute programme. I selected 5 different questionnaires in order to estimate the answers with 3
being answered by females and 2 by men. I have assembled that all the 5 questionnaires are
similar which allowed me to carefully evaluate what their requirements are of the radio show and
what meets their needs. The only difference that the people had is their preferences of what kind
of features they expect to see n a music magazine show. Most have said music as well as
interviews while one of the peoples have said Live’s. This implies that the main thing people look
for in the music shows are music, interviews and live performances. As my questionnaire focuses
on what’s intriguing for the listeners and the range of media convergence they use in order to
consume the radio shows. I tried to investigate what makes a great quality broadcast show and
what is the main target. Everyone out of the 5 people have selected yes to them listening to radio
stations and asked where all of them have said car with 1 person saying car as well as other
technological devices. 3 people have said they listen to capital and 2 people listen to both capital
as well as Kiss FM. This infers that I need to listen to both capital as well as Kiss FM and evaluate
the different ways they inform, educate and entertains their audiences and what makes them
successful. The main topics which intrigues the 5 selected people is music as well as celebrities.
Using this within my first 30 seconds I could talk about what topics will be covered within the
show and what celebrities will be appearing on the show.
