Differences of old and modern Radio Stations

Difference in Old and Modern radio stations.
There are many differences of a modern radio station to a modern one which is mainly about the sounds of station for example like the background music of the old one is old-fashioned and more of a jingle tune while the modern background tune is more techno and got a up to beat tune.

Another difference is usually the voice of the presenter which in case of the old station it would be more of a posh and has the correct grammar speaking skills while the modern radios would have a presenter that has more slang and more street talk
.
The other difference is mainly the songs that are on the radio which will be quite simple; it would depend on what year the radio station is running during that year. So if it was running during the 1980s it would be such artists as Duran Duran, Spandeau Ballet and Adam Ant while in the modern time around 2011 it would be such artists as Rihanna, JLS and Akon. These are some differences of old and modern radio stations.

We can tell from the new and old radio stations that they are very different because the way they are broad casted and sound different. I have two videos that show a old radio broadcast in 1947 and one that is in 2011. This then lets us hear and see the differences of the two radio broadcasts. In the old one the vocals of the man is really posh and has a rough sound to it while the new one is more 'shangy' and has a smooth recording to it while back ground music at some parts. While the newest one has more people featuring in it, the older one has only one person talking throughout the whole broadcast, we can see that they have interviews in the new broadcast while in the old ones they usually have only one person talking. At the beginning of the videos they both have a theme tune to introduce the radio station, in the new one its more up beat and got more technology music to it. Then with the old one its more of a slow tempo theme tunes with more traditional instruments because of the time it was broad casted, this shows over the years that they have adapted the editing side of the radio stations then mise en scene. So my conclusion of radio stations is that they have adapted by bringing in more technological things into it and the older ones are more traditional.
