The radio industry 

Public service broadcaster - Television and radio programmes that are broadcasted to provide information, advice, or entertainment to the public without trying to make a profit.

Commercial radio - Commercial radio stations make money by selling advertising. Having a large listening audience leads to more advertisers. The more advertisers a station has, the more it can charge for its advertising.

Community radio - Community radio stations are operated, owned, and influenced by the communities they serve. They are generally nonprofit and provide a mechanism for enabling individuals, groups, and communities to tell their own stories, to share experiences and, in a media-rich world, to become creators and contributors to media. 

Podcast - a digital audio or visual video on the internet talking about a particular theme or area of topic.

DAB radio - uses digital technology to distribute your favourite radio stations. 

RAJAR - Radio joint audience research is the official body in charge of measuring radio audiences in the united kingdom. RAJAR was set up by the BBC and the RadioCentre in 1992 to measure their audiences using the same system.

Licence fee - An amount of money that you pay a company organization to give you permission to use, do, or have something.

Royal Charter - It sets out the BBC's object, mission and public purposes

Remit - The remit of Radio 4 is to be a mixed speech service, offering in-depth news and current affairs and a wide range of other speech output.

convergence - the process by which multiple media technologies are brought together into one computerised device.


BBC radio - The BBC is a public service broadcaster that operates several national stations (radio 1) and many local radio stations (radio Cornwall). Each of these has a distinct identity and targets a specific audience, The BBC is publicly funded by the licence fee.

COMMUNITY RADIO - often not for profit, these tend to cover small areas and serve the interests of a particular social group. They can be funded from a variety of sources such as grants, advertising, fundraising ect...

COMMERCIAL RADIO - These are funded by advertising. The UK has many of these - They are often focused on particular genres of music and are very popular.

OFCOM regulates the radio in the UK 



The difference between public and commercial radio are very prominent due to the funding and way of profit these radio stations make. Commercial radio receives profit from advertisements, the more listeners they get the more profit they receive due to audiences growing larger and companies having to pay more to be broadcasted. PSB radio is funded by the TV license. Which is paid for by the public. Commercial radio is funded by people/companies paying to advertise on the radio.
