Study Notes
Radio Imaging Overview
- Radio imaging uses sound effects, music, and voiceovers (jingles, music beds, sweepers) to brand a radio station.
- It's analogous to visual branding (logo, colors) but for the auditory experience.
- It helps a station stand out from competitors, attract listeners, and build excitement; it's also known as "sonic branding."
- Radio imaging is crucial for audio-based radio. Strong auditory branding is essential, as visual branding is helpful but not as effective on its own.
Types of Radio Imaging
- Stationwide Imaging: Aims to represent the overall station identity using sweepers (between songs/segments) to identify the station.
- Show-Specific Imaging: Distinguishes individual DJ shows using intros, outros, and/or promos for each show.
- Radio imaging should be tailored to the station's content. For instance, a news/talk station requires a more serious, different tone than an R&B station.
Importance of Radio Imaging
- Radio is audio-based, so strong auditory branding is crucial for recognition.
- Essential for station memorability, listener attraction, and growth.
Creating Radio Imaging
- Can be created in-house, through voice actors, or outsourced using services.
- Live365 broadcasters can access Benztown's imaging libraries with special deals.
