LO5: Contingency plan

Equipment:  
if there is a problem with the Sheffield Live! facilities we will approach the college to see if it possible to to use the equipment to create our radio programme. If this is not possible we would have to purchase the equipment ourselves from the equipment list. Alternatively, if the issue is that we could not use the studio on the day that we had chosen we would have to re arrange to see if we could access the equipment on a different date. However in the production plan created we left a week for the recording stage therefore there will be space in the week to change the date that we have arranged for recording.  

Presenters: 
If there is an issue with both the presenters, or even the interviewees then we would have to re arrange the recording to a different date. However this should be avoided by key communication throughout all the parties. Another problem could be that  a presenter could drop out of the show altogether, in this case we would have to use a temporary presenter to take over the position of the show until we find a permanent replacement.

Broadcasting times: 
The proposed launch date for the show is the 1st May. There is a very strong possibility that Sheffield Live will not be able to give us the slot within the schedule that we would like, as during the time that we want a show called 'Aaj Kj Shaam' is aired, on  friday between 7pm to 9pm. This falls in between 'Talking Balls' and 'Da Beat Down'. This is why the contingency plan is important, because we would prefer this time slot as it suits the genre of the show as well as fits the target demographic of the show. There is a strong possibility that our show would be broadcast on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday Night however this would mean still replacing and existing show. If all else fails on getting the show on Sheffield Live then we would have to change the format of the show to a podcast, so that our listeners could listen to it at a suitable time. 

LO5: Copyright/PRS/Legal & Ethical Issues

Copyright

Copyright is important especially to make sure that the content is properly protected. To protect the content on the show we will make sure all the written permissions and forms from the musicians whose music we feature on the show. We also will ensure that we have a PRS License. However all the adverts that we are featuring on the show will have been created by our organisation so will not have any problem with any copyright laws. For the pitch we did to Sheffield Live we had a sample of 'Sheffield Underground Sounds' sound, this was not a infringement against any copyright laws as this was recorded about ourselves featuring a band called the Monoking. However if we did get the interview from someone else we would have to reference them to prove we have permission to use the on the radio station.

Performing Rights Society for Music

For PRS License we will require one band we feature are signed upto PRS.  However If we cannot get the written permission from the bands prior to broadcasting then we may have to rely on music covered by PRS as a contingency. However, if the bands are not covered by PRS then we will simply gain written permission using contracts  to officiate our agreement to only play music with the consent of the person/people who created it. 

Legal & Ethical Issues

During the broadcasting of the radio show we need to make sure that we avoid using anything offensive during the programme. We have also decided not to use live phone call ins on our show and this is mainly because no one knows what will happen live, however we will get listeners to to contact us via social media and email. This means that everything will be moderately suitable to the audience, as well as making sure the audience feel involved.  We will be pre recording all of our interviews to ensure that that there is no profanity and/or offensive language as it is broadcast on our proggramme. We should also be familiar with the regulator OFCOM's guidelines as their equality policy reads "treat all colleagues with dignity and respect in an inclusive and fair working environment, promoting equality of opportunity for all". This is why we will follow the Ofcom guidelines to avoid this. 

LO5: Production Plan

To complete our first episode by the deadline of Friday the 1st of May 2015, Becky and I will both contribute by completing different roles. The roles we have assigned are:

1) Researching Discussion Topics & Scouting for Bands
Who will do this: Becky & Danielle
Duration of task: 4 Weeks

The first steps towards producing our first episode will be; thoroughly researching the discussion topics that will be debated on the show, scouting for local bands and listening to their music, checking out new releases and tour dates and generally ensuring that we have sound knowledge about every topic we cover on the programme. As a presenter of the show, I need to especially be aware of things that are happening in the Sheffield music scene because I will be talking about it. This task would approximately take us four weeks; from Monday the 23rd of February to Friday the 13th of March.

2) Creating Scripts & Other Planning Materials
Who will do this: Becky
Duration of task: 2 Weeks

In order to create the content for our programme, we must first plan the running order of our show and what will make up the content.  would carry out this task as a presenter of the show because I need to know what it is that I'm talking about. Due to the fact the show will be pre-recorded, all of the content must be created and assembled before broadcast. For this task I must write scripts, plan discussion topics, contact bands regarding interviews and organise studio music sessions and discuss using their music. This task would approximately take me two weeks, as I am simply refining and finalising what I have researched in the first few weeks. This task would take us from Monday the 16th March to Friday the 27th March. 

3) Pre-recording the Content
Who will do this: Becky & Danielle
Duration of task: 1 Week

This task will take both of us to complete because Danielle will need to set up the recording equipment while I am recording the content, both on my own and with bands, guests and interviewees. We will record our content at Sheffield Live where they will provide the equipment we need to produce the programme. Due to all of our planning in previous weeks, this task should be our quickest and should only take us one week from Monday the 30th March until Friday the 3rd of April. 

4) Assembling & Editing the Programme
Who will do this: Danielle
Duration of task: 2 Weeks

To balance out the workload, Danielle will do the majority of the assembling and editing of our programme as I spent time creating the scripts and other planning materials. This task will involve editing out all of the mistakes, making sure the show flows well and generally finalising and editing the programme to a high standard and quality. This task should approximately take two weeks and would take us from Monday the 6th of April until Friday the 17th of April. 

5) Creating & Maintaining an Online Presence
Who will do this: Becky

In order to be able to promote our programme, we will create an online presence across several social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This presence will act as a platform that will allow our listeners to contact us with their opinions and ideas and let them interact during discussions. I would spend time creating these pages from Monday the 6th of April while Danielle edits the programme. There is no end date for this task as our online presence would have to be maintained for as long as we run our show.

By completing the final edit of our programme on Friday the 17th of April, this will allow us time to re-evaluate if any changes need to be made to the show before broadcast as we would have two weeks until our deadline of Friday the 1st of April.

The start up cost will be more expensive than the costs of the show in future because we are purchasing the costs for the further extent of the show, which means that it has to be worthwhile and last for the show. However even though the cost are expensive the expense in the long run will be cheaper as we will make money back from the advertising done.

PROGRAMME DETAILS

Programme Name:

Sheffield Underground Sounds

Producer:

Danielle Baggaley & Becky Jackson

Presenter/s:

Danielle Baggaley & Becky Jackson

Is this a proposal for a new programme or continuation of an existing programme?

[   ]  New programme proposal [   ]  Continuation proposal

Please provide a brief description of your programme and its purpose: (50 words max)

Sheffield Underground Grounds is about getting the local people to listen to all the local music. It gives the listeners the chance to experience local musicians and their passion for music. Also allowing them to follow local bands as the bands we play may also have interviews, gigs, reviews and competitions.

Which language/s will you broadcast in?

Primary language

English

Other languages

English.

How much of your programme will be speech and how much music?

Speech

50 %

Music

50 %

Please describe the speech content of the programme. Will there be discussions, interviews or performance? What issues and subjects will you cover?

During the show there will be interviews with local bands, especially upcoming bands. There also may be some live aspects of the show, this allows the audience to relate to the show as they can follow the bands as they can really get to know them with the different segments. Discussions on the show will include things like ‘how is the music industry for small local bands’ or asking the listeners ‘who is your favourite local  band’

What styles of music will you play?

The majority of the music to be played on the show will be in the indie genre. This is generally because the ‘indie’ genre of music has a variety of music and bands allowing us to create broad base of local bands from all sides of the city. This gives us a real mi of music allowing us to target a broader audience range.

Please explain how the proposed programme will deliver community benefit (e.g.  local voices, underserved needs, cultural and linguistic diversity, social inclusion etc)

Social Inclusion because it will take the attention away from the ‘mainstream music’ to introduce new local music. It will also include a community benefit that will promote local young bands and give them the coverage that they have probably being struggling to get on a broader radio station.

Audience for your Programme

Please describe the audience for your programme.

The audience for the programme will be specifically aimed at people in the music industry. It will also be aimed at people in the local area of Sheffield or South Yorkshire, which allows the bands to create a fan base from where they were originally formed. This show will also be aimed at the ABC1 Traget demographic, this is because we want people that have spare money in order for the bands to gain from the listeners, for example we want the listeners to have money to go to gigs, tours and buy tickets.

How will you ensure that there is audience participation in your programme?

To ensure we have audience participation we will allow people who tweet in questions when we have a local band being interviewed, and tweet in discussion topics.

Experience

Please explain how you have gathered knowledge of the people, subjects and music you wish to include in your programme.

To gather knowledge on the field, I have previously taken part in the filing and editing of a local bands music video, as well as editing together a promotional video for a event at plug which promotes local bands.

Please give details of any previous broadcasting experience and training you have undertaken.

The training I have undertaken would be at the university technology college, which allows me to have a depth field of knowledge in the subject, as we have done various tasks to gain the experience and knowledge needed for this task.

Please give details of any support you may require in order to do your programme

Scheduling

Please give details of the preferred day and time of your weekly programme

1st Choice

Day:

Friday

Timeslot:

7:00 – 9:00

2nd Choice

Day:

Saturday

Timeslot:

7:00 – 9:00

If you do not wish to do your programme on a weekly basis, please state how often you are able to do the programme with details of the ideal day and timeslot.  Please give at least two options.

Other information

Please give any other relevant information for consideration when your proposal is assessed.

Programme sponsorship and fund-raising

Please tell us your plans for securing a sponsor for your programme, or other commitment to fund-raising for Sheffield Live! (Note: we need to raise at least £1000 per show per year)

We plan to advertise any local shops such as vintage shops, and record shops and anything only known around either the South Yorkshire area or the Sheffield Area. This allows all the small business to gain the audience they probably have been struggling to find on another radio station.

LO5: Evaluation

In our pitch I think we presented fairly confidently as a group however I think I personally could have improved confidence wise. We also presented both our ideas clearly by making comparisons between he two so it's easier to see which show would work better. I think that most of the feedback we received was very positive and constructive. Another positive about our presentation was that we had enough information on the slides as well as visuals to keep the listeners interested.

To improve our pitch we could have made it come across more like we have more knowledge on the topics/genres/ideas. We could have achieved this by using more examples of local bands and backing the things we wanted to include in our radio show up with evidence. The feedback we also recieved from the pitch was to brief the band on the questions that we will be asking to make sure we get interesting answers as well as asking questions not everyone asked because then it makes them think outside the blue and gets the listeners interested. 

The 'local voice' voice idea would have been more successful if we had given more examples on topics to talk about. After this sort of feedback we realised 'Sheffield Underground Sounds' was the best idea. This is mainly because of the fact that we know a lot about the sheffield music scene as it it something we  have been involved in before so have experience in interviewing bands. Where as neither of us have much knowledge on the sorts of issues people come across in areas so we wouldn't be quite sure what to expect to start with as the field could be quite broad which could cause problems. The problems would mainly come from the phone ins we would want as because it is before watershed we could not regulate the calls and make sure that it is suitable for children to hear. 

Overall I think our pitch was quite successful, the Sheffield Live presenter didn't really give us as much feedback as some of the other groups which i think is a good sign. I also think he preferred our first idea, 'Sheffield Underground Sounds', which is great for me because I would be far more passionate about that as a product rather than 'Local Voice'.
