- also a lot of on air pauses, this is bad for airplay

My Own View
I found this radio station really hard and boring to listen to. I found there was no real input from the DJ in the time frame that i listened to. A mixed time frame for the age of the songs which means that there can be a wide varitety of ages that listen to Heart FM

Critisisms
- Trevor Nelson doesn't speak very clearly so it is quite hard to understand what he is saying
- Talking fast, trying to cram everything in, in a very short space of time
Positive comments

- stopping and speaking after the songs, giving the audience the sense of feeling that the DJ is actually enjoying what he is doing
- promotion of the live lounge - which i listened to and was great

My Own View
Again i really enjoyed listening to this radio station, alot of upbeat music, also i liked the outside broadcast speaking to people, getting the public involved.



I listen to each radio station for 20 minutes each so that it would be fair.
I also couldn't look at alot of radio stations local to Kidlington because none of them would play on the internet, and that was the equipment that we had to listen to the radios on, and would make it easier to make the notes to go onto my blog.
