Community radio is radio broadcast within the local area for the benefit of community. They are usually charities set up to provide a local service for the community run by volunteers.
ICR (Ipswich community radio) is a Community radio station based in Ipswich and is run by volunteers, from multiple cultures and backgrounds who each offer their free time to run and create radio programs which get broadcast throughout Ipswich and around the edges of the town. For my assignment I researched one of ICR shows called Electric Soul.
The show opened with a song followed by introduction to the show. During this introduction the presenter back referenced the song and spoke about the artist of the song and the artist that he will be playing next, during this introduction he made amistake about where the artist comes before correcting himself and continuing with the show.
The show basically continued in this layout throughout, however the presenter didnt make any more mistakes as he took his time to introduce each song being careful not mess up again. Unlike the other radio stations i researched their were no idents in his show, which I thought they should have as listens need idents to discover what station their listening too, and it's usually played everything 15 minutes on other radio stations. The only time in the show the station ident was played was at the end of the show before he handed the studio over to the next show.
