05 90 Years of Radio... Last year on the 14th November 2012 it was 90 years since BBC had been broadcasting. To celebrate this at 17:33 every BBC radio show across the world was stopped and a song which was composed by Damon Albarn from the Blur was played across all the stations. The song was 3 minutes long which was being played and broadcasted from the London Science Museum by Simon Mayo. This was first time since 1922 that something had been simultaneously played over all BBC stations. 03 The Radio Facts... - peak listeners at meal times 6-8am, 12-2pm, 6-8pm - 8-8.15am highest listening rate - 73% of 18+ listen to radio in car - 2nd in home - 20% online streaming - morning shows and drive time shws have highest ratings - listeners have a fixed habit in the morning and will stick to a routine - listen to same station every morning - high morning ratings. - people become dependant on radio stations with shows and features to tell what time it is. - top 5 stations - BBC 2 - BBC 1 BBC 4 - Heart - Capital 04 BBC Radio 1 Facts... - 11,091 thousand listeners a week - 21% - 1.5 hours per head listened every day - 6.9 hours listened per listener - avg audience - 31.9 - target audience - 15-29yr old - breakfast show is most sort after slot.

The song was called 2LO calling. 2LO Calling began with the chimes of Big Ben and featured the first ever broadcast from the 2LO transmitter and the number one song at the time - Three O'Clock in the Morning. The three-minute piece also featured messages from listeners around the world along with the sound of the blackbird and skylark, commentary from the Cameroon election and the ubiquitous BBC pips. Albarn also chose to include a famous quote from philosopher Bertrand Russell: "Love is wise, hatred is foolish." It featured in Morse code, the series of clicks, tones, dots and dashes historically used to transmit information. The song was called 2LO calling because the 2LO transmitter made the first broadcast - from the British Broadcasting Company as it was then known - on 14 November 1922.

An Exhibition of...
90 Years of Radio
01 Background... Last year on the 14th November 2012 it was 90 years since BBC had been broadcasting. To celebrate this at 17:33 every BBC radio show across the world was stopped and a song which was composed by Damon Albarn from the Blur was played across all the stations. The song was 3 minutes long which was being played and broadcasted from the London Science Museum by Simon Mayo. This was first time since 1922 that something had been simultaneously played over all BBC stations. The song was called 2LO calling. 2LO Calling began with the chimes of Big Ben and featured the first ever broadcast from the 2LO transmitter and the number one song at the time - Three O'Clock in the Morning. The three-minute piece also featured messages from listeners around the world along with the sound of the blackbird and skylark, commentary from the Cameroon election and the ubiquitous BBC pips. Albarn also chose to include a famous quote from philosopher Bertrand Russell: "Love is wise, hatred is foolish." It featured in Morse code, the series of clicks, tones, dots and dashes historically used to transmit information.
02 Concept of the Exhibition... A visual and audio exhibition that informs the audience of the history of BBC radio and how it has changed throughout the years. The focus will be on visualising the radio and how the stations spoken words can be seen through exhibits. 03 Plan of the exhibition... The exhibition would be split into 2 sections The history of the 90 years of broadcasting. The present day broadcasting. 04 The Audience... Teenagers of high school age 11-17. Young adults - 18 - 25. 05 The purpose... The purpose of the exhibition is to inform the younger audience about the radio; to show them where and how it started. To show the development of the radio and equipment and how it has affected social interaction within society.
The song was called 2LO calling because the 2LO transmitter made the first broadcast - from the British Broadcasting Company as it was then known - on 14 November 1922. More than 55 BBC radio stations came together for Radio Reunited. It is estimated the broadcast could have reached up to 80 million listeners.

Range of products... for an exhibition
01 Branding... Branding of an exhibition is very important, this will give the aesthetical look to the entire exhibition and be the basis of all colour schemes and promotional material. The branding communicates the exhibition to the audience. 02 Promotional material... Promotional material is the second important element for an exhibition. The promo material gets the word out for the exhibition and promotes it to get people involved and to come along to it. The style and design of this element is also very important to get correct and to target the audience you want to appeal to.
