I finally kicked start my Electronic Media Assignment by going down to Mediacorp Radio and interviewing KC & Fiza O as part of my research paper. My focus was on how radio can win back their young listeners and interviewing them actually made me realise the importance of a radio.
I am not really an avid fan of radio. I do tune in as and when its convenient. To me, radio is just like a routine. Every morning when I am on my way to work, I tune in to Ria 89.7FM and catch RA Krew. On my home, I would be tuning in to Kruz. And when i'm in the car, it'l be again,the radio.
Call me old fashion if you please. But Ipods or Mp3 players do little to fascinate me. In fact my mp3 player has been collecting dust. I get sick of hearing repetitive songs day in and day out. And unlike radio, there is no live element or interaction between myself and whatever I am listening to. With the radio, I can sms my opinions, be a part of a segment. Its more real. Its more me.
When I interviewed the producer-presenters from the radio station, I am amazed at how helpful they were in providing me with the answers which I was looking for in order to write the research paper. They gave me details which I could not find on the website. Considering the fact that they were not paid extra for helping me out, they were oh so helpful. To that, my hat goes out to Fiza & KC for being the 2 super friendly cum extremely helpful djs around.
On a different note. Today marks the 1st day of Ramadhan. The fasting month for Muslims all over. And God! Was i tested in more ways than one. At work especially. Being the quick tempered person that I was, all iI could keep repeating to myself was, "Sesungguhnya Aku Berpuasa". Heh.
So, keeps your faith up, people and may you breeze through this testing month.
Selamat Berpuasa Everyone.
Love.
