Having had all the questionnaires back and filled in i found out that the majority of people listen to local radio at times between 7am and 10am or after 6pm.
The reason people listen to the radio is for the music.
More people have downloaded via Podcast or have listened online and listen to FM radio.
This means that when scripting my news radio broadcast I need to think about local news that is suitable to be played between 7am -10am or after 6pm.
I will have to include a bit of music as this is what people listen out for.

The reason for producing a questionnaire like this is to help understand what my audience wants and prefer in a radio broadcast. It gives me an idea of the codes and conventions i need to take into consideration before i produce any practical production.
