Are technology and innovation the same? What is innovation? Why do we need it? How do we introduce it in our organisations? Does a culture of innovation exist in the Radio industry?
For celebrating World Radio Day 2020, I’m adding to my wishes for radio industry from last year, a 7th one.
1. Know when your listeners are paying attention.
2. Seek Time ENJOYED Listening, instead of TSL.
3. Visualise your power and assume your responsibility on-air.
4. Put listener engagement measurement in the hands of the on-air team.
5. “Listempathise”
Just being able to see first hand, daily, the impact everything you say or do on-air has on your audience will make you more aware, more responsible, more confident, more creative.
El equipo de antena es el único motor posible para la mejora continua de contenidos en tu radio. Ellos deben ser dueños de la medición de engagement de oyentes.
The on-air team is the only possible engine for continuous content improvement in your radio show or station. On-air teams must own listener engagement measurement. No matter whether your radio organisation is a national public broadcaster or a local independent radio station, you will embrace daily content evaluation.
The morning show “De Grote Peter van de Veire Ochtendshow” on MNM, the VRT station targeting young audience, will be conducting a pilot with Voizzup during the coming months for evaluating their contents daily, starting today.
Los equipos de antena, programación, redacción, producción de sonido, investigación de audiencias, etc. necesitan incorporar ciclos cortos y feedback del oyente a todas las fases de su creación, para permitir una mejora continua. Incluso si eso requiere crear su propio sistema de trabajo y su propia terminología.
On-air, programming, editorial, sound production, audience research teams need to embrace creation in short cycles and listener feedback at all stages in order to allow continuous improvement. Even if that requires that they come up with their own framework and terminology.
La radio puede aprender, mejorar y reaccionar más rápido a los oyentes que están cambiando sus hábitos de consumo de audio y están pasando menos tiempo con nuestro medio. Las emisoras están acostumbradas a ser rápidas para llegar primero, pero necesitamos el cambio mental de ser rápidos para ser mejores. Eso es ser agile.
