I have chosen to look at Channel 4 and Radio 1 when it comes to looking at the evolution of media in the market place as they are more relevant to the brief that I have chosen.
Channel 4
-Channel 4 was launched in 1982 initially only transmitting TV shows however over the next 10 years they would start to transmit films. -In early 2000s, Channel 4 launched a series of new channels including Film4 and E4. -All 4, a video on demand service for Channel 4, was launched in 2006 as 4oD. Shows on All 4 are from a variety of Channel 4 channels however all shows cannot be on All 4 for legal and copyright reasons. This could and can still be accessed on Channel4.com. -Apps for All 4/4oD were launched on iOS in 2011 and for Android in 2013. -2008 saw Channel 4 launch 4Music launch in the UK. -Channel 4 transmitted digitally in 2010, they also became a UK-wide TV channel for the first time.
Radio 1
-BBC Radio 1 started transmitting in 1967. It was created as a response to pirate radio. -In 1978, Radio 1 moved to 2 medium wave frequencies. This improved transmitter power and allowed better coverage of the UK. -Late 1970s, the BBC set up an FM channel for Radio 1 after years of parallel broadcasting with Radio 2. -Radio 1 started FM broadcasting full-time. This was the first time it had been done but it was only available in the London area. -DAB broadcasting for all BBC Radio channels (including Radio 1) started in 1995 however it was expensive and DAB radio was relatively unknown. It was officially launched in 2002. -2014, Radio 1 launched a new video channel on BBC iPlayer.
P3: Describe roles required to support the content within the planned proposal
I have chosen to do Choice 2. For this I will be creating an app that allows for connections not just to the TV and radio stations but also will allow you to make tweets and Facebook posts whist you are watching/listening. The app will be available on iOS and android but it will also be available to download on PCs and Macs. I may also decide to have the app be able to connect with smart watches and glasses. For this I will need a wide range of different personnel to accomplish this task. I will need:
Coders - People to code the app
Graphic Designers - To make all the pictures and animations on the app (excludes TV shows)
