There are different types of ways that the sound output of a radio broadcast can be achieved. These can either be through analogue, digital, satellite or the internet.

Analogue radio is a type of radio service that is made up of continuous, uninterrupted radio frequency waves, which support FM and AM frequencies which allows people to listen radio broadcasts from home radio and car equipment. Due to the fact that analogue radio operates on using continuous radio waves, it provides a more accurate version of the original recording which means that the sound output will sound more realistic. Analogue radio stations are also eco-friendly as they are not computer-driven. However, analogue radios are prone to interference from other radio stations which can cause crackles and hisses as it can be cut off with sounds like a plane flying above the signalling station.
Digital radio on the other hand does not send continuous signals or is in the form of radio waves, but rather is in mathematical code. In digital radio, it is easier to tune into than an analogue signal due to the mathematical accuracy of the broadcast. Although if there is interference with a digital signal, the entire signal is lost. DAB is the technology radio stations use to broadcast digitally. It stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and can be either in the form of DAB or DAB+; whereby DAB+ is the superior signalling variant as it uses a more advanced audio codec to provide higher quality sound and more stereo stations.
Satellite radio is a radio service that uses satellites circling the Earth in order to broadcast programming which allows for the signal to reach a wide audience. The most widely used radio channels operating on satellite signals are Sirius and XM.
Internet radio is a digital audio service that operates on requiring a Wi-Fi or ethernet connection to access the radio service. It uses streaming as its method of providing audio output of the radio broadcast.
The term multiplatform refers to the idea that a software program is compatible with more than one operating system (OS) or computing system. Examples of platforms that radio may be distributed on include a radio receiver, TV, digital devices such as computers and phones, and apps like Spotify, and station apps. A multiplatform radio broadcasting service example is the BBC, whereby they distribute radio via a radio receiver on AM/FM frequencies as well as digitally via DAB with BBC Radio 1-5, which are available on radio, TV and digital devices, and have a BBC iPlayer app which supports online distribution of their radio programmes.

My radio programme is called the Local's Guide to Brick Lane which is a pre-recorded radio programme that details the experiences of different people living in Brick Lane, which is done in an interview format where the interviewer introduces the interviewee and then the interviewee extensively talks about the experience that they had in Brick Lane. As a result, I created pre-production documentation in order to put this idea into practice.

In order to create a radio broadcast, you need to firstly form an idea of what kind of radio programme that you aspire to create. This could be either a radio service that plays trending music, a podcast that talks about sports, discussing current affairs and debating them, or interviewing people about their life experiences for example. After a main idea is formed, this must be professionally documented so that idea can be systematically implemented. This is through creating a proposal that outlines the basic aims of the radio segment, writing a script of how the radio programme will progress overtime, making an assets table of the kind of music and sounds that will be in the radio programme, and an audio storyboard which emphasises the order of how the sound assets identified.
After the pre-production process, the process of recording the radio segment must begin. There are many different software and equipment options available that will facilitate the process of doing a radio broadcast.
Microphones are used to amplify the voice that speaks within the mic or the sound that is close to the mic, and converts it into an electrical signal. Headphones can also be used to allow crew members to hear each other as well as the presenter if they are all connected to a single digital source.
A digital audio workstation (DAW) is a software application that is used for producing a recording and editing an audio file. It's specifically used by producers who need to produce a recording of a sound that is combines more than one element of audio.
