Review of Heart FM's Broadcast

Heart FM has an array of music for a younger audience but compares it with adverts for a slightly older audience. Artists included Beyonce, Outkast and Justin Timberlake. There were some songs related at a more mature audience such as Robbie Williams and Norah Jones, but these artists are still listened to by a younger demographic.

Introduction to Media Coursework

My Initial Research involved investigating local radio stations and the types of local radio stations. There are ILR (independent local radio) and publically funded BBC radio and are funded by TV licences. ILR are dependent on advertising.

'U Be Dead' and 'Lie to Me'

U BE DEAD

A two hour sunday special on ITV made me scared of Spanish women...especially if they are called Maria Marchese. This thriller was based on the true story of Dr Jan Falkowski who's life was tormented by one of his patients boyfriends, noted by the police for her Latino accent. She texts and calls Dr Falkowski and his fiancee (Debra Pembleton), with death threats including 'U Be Dead', thusly giving the story its name. After Maria is caught red handed at a phonebox calling the couple, she begins to acuse Dr Falkowski of raping her. This is later disproved in court based on the days he could have comitted the rape. Luckily, she was locked up and is up for bail in 2012. There is a subplot about him leaving his wife but I felt it detracted from the thriller nature of this programme.

LIE TO ME

This US series about Dr Cal Lightman (a specialist in Lie Detection) and his team, are hired by governers and civillians alike to solve personal cases. In a recorded episode, Cal is hired by the police to try and intrepet the thoughts of a officer gunned down in a slum of flats, and is now lying in hospital, a complete quadraplegic. His skills are used to spot that other police officers running the flats are charging extra rent on the tennants and keeping the money on the side, after confronting them after they arrest Cal's daughter for 'intent to supply hard drugs' (which have been planted on her), he spots one of the officers heads bow, a sure sign of being the weakest of the group. A session of interrogation leads the officer to confess.
