Radio stuff lesson - 16/09/2013

Learnt how Marconi took all the credit for other people's work.

I now understand how they amplify the radio waves from radio stations to receivers. even if it was in the form of a cheesy 1930s black and white TV program.

There are way too many BBC radio stations, the least they could have done was give them some original names.

Some radio stations are still pirate radio stations even though getting a licence is easy now. and i think i was lazy

Radio Questions

1. I mainly listen to BBC Radio 2 (i don't really listen to the radio)

2. I normally listen to the radio when travelling by car and when the rest of my family are listening to it in the morning.

3. The Genres and artists all depend on how the station feels

4. Not really because i don't have a favourite genre as such but there are certain songs and genres i would rather stay away from.
