A Profile Overview of CBS FM and Its Operations in the United States Essay

I have selected to listen to CBS (101.1) FM and WNYC (820) AM. CBS FM is considered to be a commercial radio station, were as WNYC is a public radio station. These are two entirely different radio stations, which Ive selected to listen to for my assignment. In this essay, I will discuss the format of the stations, how they affect me personally, and the use of productions of each station.CBS FM has an old style sound that works well with the program. The sounds are from the fifties, producing a scratchy sound, as if the music were being played on an old record player. This is done to produce the style of the radio stations. I love the way the station produces that style of sound, thus allowing the audience to adjust and become familiar with the station.Listening to CBS FM, Ive noticed the voice of the announcer to fit quite appropriately to the program.

The words range from normal to high, going accordingly to the style of the music being presented. For example, the announcer says, HELLLLLLLOOOOO EVERYBODY! (Ala Buddy Holly style). By doing this, this appeals to the segment of the public, by sharing a preference for that style attracting the listeners and even the advertisers wishing to sell their products to that target audience. CBS Fm announced a short segment, which was very effective and very entertaining to the audience. This is an example of the use of productions in radio. The segment was about audiences letters, and how some are bizarre. Well, the announcer reads one letter and answers the letter in a funny matter. The issue was, a seven letter word that cannot be said on the radio, so the announcer tries it. Well, of course the announcer cannot say the word, so he tells the audience, Maybe...

A Comparison Between Mel Gibson's Directed Hamlet and Kenneth Branagh's Directed Hamlet Essay

Comparative Essay Shaping Hamlet on the Silver ScreenTwo popular film renditions of Shakespeare s great tragedy Hamlet present us with two very different interpretations of the title role. In the first act of each we come to know Franco Zeffirelli s Hamlet, played by Mel Gibson, as authentic, believable, never exaggerated and not altogether puzzling in stark contrast, Kenneth Branagh directs and plays a Hamlet who is fantastic, larger than life, intensely tortured, and enigmatic. Arguably Zeffirelli s interpretation, taken on a purely literal level, is more true to the playwright s intent (regardless of its fairly free rearranging and cutting of lines and passages) yet for that his Hamlet is somewhat lacking in the complexity of character so central to the drama. Branagh s Hamlet, although initially less plausible, ultimately draws us in toward the real themes of the play in a much more convincing and satisfying way.The first and most immediately obvious contrast between the two films ...
