RADIO SHOWS- RADIO 1 & RADIO 2

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2

I joined onto a live show and as soon as I started there was a song (lady gaga). Then when that finished straight away they said the songs name and who's it by and put a new song on straight away (Bruno mars). After the song finished the presenter told us what's coming up in the next half an hour. The presenter stopped talking and put a new song on. That song ends and you hear the presenters name (Clara Amfo) then the radio one jingle then a new song comes on.

The whole time I was listening to the radio which was for about 15 minuets there was no adverts and mostly songs ands not people talking.

As I tune into radio 2 I can see and hear there is a massive difference between 1& 2, the first thing i heard was them talking about politics and debates about the choices that the parliament have made. The presenter (Jeremy vine) and a guest have been chatting about stuff for about 15 minuets and I heard no songs.

Without even listening to radio 2 I can see the massive difference between 1& 2, radio is for pop songs ands just gossip about pop starts and the latest charts and radio 2 is about politics and occasional music.
