Different radio stations suit different audiences. For example, Kerrang is aimed at both young teens who like punk music, and people who listened to that in their teen days.
An example of all this the BBC. They are funded by TV licence which is paid for by the audience.
Commercial radio is radio that has commercials and runs themselves. An example of this is UK Rock. Their only worry is to stay alive and entertain their audience. Public service radio has somewhat of a duty to fulfil as they are run by the government. The BBC is an example of this. They cannot be politically biased, although many people would argue that they are.
Some radio shows have strips which are essentially specific time slots for certain shows, so people know when they are on.
BBC Radio 1
BBC Radio 1 is aimed at younger people. It features many songs in the pop or rap genre which would be considered 'trendy'. Radio 1 features many segments such as live lounge, where artists perform live on the show. Bastille and Hozier have done this in the past.
BBC Radio 1 extra
BBC Radio 1 extra is aimed at young people who like trap and grime music. It is aimed at a mainly urban audience, stereotypically black people. Artists such as Stormzy and Giggs may be played on here.
BBC Radio 5 live
BBC radio 5 live is mainly a call-in sport show which is also aimed at a younger audience and obviously sport fans. There are many presenters that present different shows on 5 live.
There are also podcasts available to download and stream which have a link to radio. Some examples of popular podcasts are the Joe Rogan Experience, True Geordie Podcast and Believeyoume. Joe Rogan, True Geordie and Michael Bisping all respectfully present these podcasts. They discuss a range of topics such as sport, current affairs and politics.
In addition to that, a lot of radio has moved online and to TV now, instead of being based on an actual radio. Kerrang is a big example of this. The station features punk and rock music.
