Planning:
When planning to release a radio show, the production team will meet up to discuss their budget, target audience, copyrighting and time limits among other things. The team must make sure that the content that is going to be featured is fully researched and that there are multiple production meetings to plan the content for the next show. There are also station editorial meetings in which the team will decide on playlists, news and agendas. The most important part of planning is making sure that there is a clear production schedule so that everything is able to go to plan.
Pre-Production:
In Pre-Production, BBC will contact and arrange for a potential studio guest to come onto the show for an interview. This will have an affect on the draft scripts for the show and the news as they will have to make time for the guest so that the focus will be on them throughout the show. The team must make sure that there are clear rights for for all songs and other content that will be featured including any online content that will be used on the show e.g. soundbites and news clips. There is a safety assessment of all broadcast activities before the show starts incase of any risks or hazards that may occur. lastly, there is a running order in which the production team create an order for all the things that will be talked about on the show.
Production (Pre-Recorded):
In pre-recorded production the show will have all of its interviews and news clips made and inserted into the show before being aired. The jingles, effects and sweepers are also created before being programmed for the show.The team must have a playlist ready to go for the show with zero risk of copyright infringement. Once the show has been successfully recorded it is taken to the editing bay and later released as a content package for programming.
Production (Live):
There are four stages in production for a live radio show. First the script gets updated to deal with breaking stories in the world, as well as whats happening on social media. The script also makes preparation for any phone user responses to the show so that the presenter can successfully interact with the live audience. The next stage of production is to manage the studio guests coming on to the show. The producers have to make sure that they will be on time and are prepared to be interviewed by the presenter without having a pre-written script. The presenter then has to introduce the show to the audience live without any mistakes as the show cannot be re-recorded. Once the show has been presented the host will then go through the news including any breaking stories in the last 24 hours so that the audience feels up to date. For the audio listeners to listen to the show live on their mobile devices they have to update their online and mobile data to access the live-stream.
Post-Production:
In post-production the first thing that the team will do is edit together a rough version of the show and upload it as a test version for the team. If it successfully meets the quota then they will air the show and upload the online content to the official BBC iPlayer website for any repeat viewings from the audience. After the show is aired the team will then go on to develop audience focus groups for the show. Focus groups are a research method that are used to gather feedback and opinions from the audience to help further develop the show.

e) Market Share
BBC Radio Cambridgeshire currently holds 5.6% of market share in the radio industry. Their audio listeners are all adults above the age of 15 with the majority of them being local. Due to there being a large increase in radio production since the late 1990s, market share has decreased for the majority of stations. Audio listeners can only consume a certain amount of content from radio stations, making it harder for the BBC to standout among the overwhelming competition that are all trying to do the same thing. BBC Radio Cambridgeshire only get around 91,000 listeners a week on average, with the majority of them only listening for up to 5 minutes.
