By listening to all the broadcasts and in comparison to all of them they mainly contained interviews but a small amount of actuality and soundtracks. This is most likely to be down to the PM radio station. Being known as one of the formal radio stations as they regularly broadcast about daily news happening around the world and also interviewing the general public on their views and thoughts about today's society really gives the audience an insight into other people’s opinions. By playing music often wouldn’t really suit the audiences/listeners needs as they expect to find interviews, context and analysis. I personally believe that PM is aimed at an older audience preferably people over the age of 30 because they mostly sit in the middle/upper class category, and they are the ones that would specifically be interested in listening to these sort of broadcasts.


With all four speech packages completed, one based on an art show and the rest mainly around interviews, but each package is targeted at different people. For example speech package number three is targeted at parents who are preparing their kids for school and kids who are preparing themselves for school whereas speech package number four is targeted at people in their early 20's to their late 40's this is a huge difference reason being is because each package has a different purpose and it targets a particular audience to broadcast to. Also they are all on different genres, which makes it more interesting as it talks about the particular genre. In general I believe that BBC Radio 4 PM is mainly for a target audience of people in their late 20s early 30s people who generally love listening to the radio and want to gain some daily knowledge every often. Radio stations are great for speech packages they inform, educate and explain about different topics in detail.
