The first type of radio stations I chose was a radio station that is only available for patients in a hospital. I chose my nearest hospital which is Croydon University Hospital whose station is called RADIO MAYDAY. This particular radio station allows patients to feel at home where they can listen to a mix of music, news, entertainment and allows patients to listen to commentaries from Selhurst Park for Crystal Palace Football Club (CPFC)'s home games. The radio station also allows patients to choose the music that they play which would appeal more to older audiences because they get to listen to their own favourite music that they listened to when they were younger and not music that would appeal more to younger audiences. Finally, the patients in hospital get to listen to an radio slot called 'The Mayday Comedy Hour' which offers a mix of classical and modern comedy that might make patients laugh. Their equipment setup might differ because compared to other leading radio stations (LBC, Heart, Capital), they might not have the modern technology that other radio stations have, but as this is a hospital radio station, their setup might be a bit low-key because only patients in hospital are allowed to listen to it.National Radio - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2
The second type of radio stations I chose was a radio station that is available for all audiences nationwide. For this radio station, I chose the most popular radio station in the whole of the UK with almost 15.5 million listeners ever week, Radio 2. This particular radio stations allows adults at home or at work to listen to music mainly based in the 80s hosted by some famous faces such as Tony Blackburn, Jeremy Vine and Chris Evans. The radio station also allows interviews many famous faces about either upcoming films or television, for example Robert Downey Jr chatted to one presenter named Steve Wright, as they both chatted about his latest film, The Judge on Friday 17th October.
