MY VIEW ABOUT RADIO COMMUNITY
Di radio, aku dengar lagu kesayanganmu…” This is a piece of the song that
always recalled our mind when listening to the object
named radio.
In addition
to news, appeal of Zenith is a quiz, audience contact, and social activities. For example many listeners are tempted by the gift of organizing a quiz or contest. Many teens use the SMS online or by Face book to communicate with their peers.
Radio reaches the popularity in Indonesia, especially for the young
people. Not a little love story that appears
because of the role of that "magic
box". Exchange messages and sending greetings to their sweetheart is conducted through the intermediary of songs and radio broadcasters. A song is an intermediary feelings, we can show our feelings by songs, when we are happy, sad,
angry, disappointed, or confusion (galau).
As a young people we are familiar with the popular songs that might tell a condition that we are facing, such as when we fall in love we would be pleased to hear the theme song about love or romance with boyfriend/
girlfriend.
Broadcasters are required not only fluently speak in front of the microphone. He/ she are must be able to perform in a play as a familiar friend to the listener. If successful, the name of a broadcaster could be popular and has many fans, though only his/ her voice is heard.
Community radio is one type
of electronic
communication media, which is managed by the
community (Community)
itself. Community radio is a medium
of empowerment, which aims for education and entertainment
for the radio listeners.
Community radio media presents a more advantages. There is no distance between broadcaster and listener. The reason is, they already knew each other previously in the community who attended.
Although the television
transmitter stations have sprung
up across the private
Indonesia, but the radio broadcast was not abandoned its fans. Community radio listeners in a variety of areas still remain a lot. This is because compared to television, radio has several advantages.
Number of radio
listeners in Indonesia is still high, although surrounded by the proliferation
of private television, local television and online media that is easily
accessible for information. In a radio development in Indonesia comes with a
variety of concepts and not merely a segment of straight present information
but also the education and entertainment close to the listeners.
In my observations of Radio Zenith that
move to different segments, such as from lifestyle, infotainment,
entertainment, news room, teenagers or young people, business, music, ethnic
and culture, propagation, to the community. Presented various segments that
maybe is not necessarily obtained elsewhere, and the existence of communities of
listeners who became a family. "Broadcasters and listeners can poke fun at each other on the radio. There is a conversation and interaction. This is not to be found when people listen to music via MP3, for example.
Zenith radio has a very close interaction to the
audiences as they can be exchanged courtesies by telephone, SMS, and Face book.
Broadcasters and listeners have a good relation and a warm, like a family.
Without the royal listeners, a broadcast means nothing because listeners are
everything for the broadcast. Therefore many people who decided to be
listeners, such as children, teenagers, adults and even old age people because
there is also a musical event that presents a memorable song.
Because the radio
is one of the favorite radio station in Salatiga so this radio is popular in
Salatiga people, not just Salatiga people who become loyal listeners but also
outside the region of Salatiga became a loyal listeners.
This radio has
many special programs for young people, because most of the listeners are young
people, but there are another programs such as Business Wisdom, Social, News,
Health, Tembang Kenangan and more programs. There are 7 Zenith’s broadcasters,
they are Dion, Erwin, Rendy, Frida, Rahma, Reyna and Rizal.
The crews have
creative programs that up to date; many times ago there was an event that held
a Kokas
(Komunitas kamera apa saja), it hold a special events for lovers of
photography; the camera can be of any camera, such as Hand phone, digital
camera, as well as the other cameras. The master of the photography class is Om
Todung Goltum guide and teach how to photography in this photography class that
organized by Zenith radio, and he said that “Kamera yang paling bagus itu adalah KAMERA yang kamu punya, kenali
dan pacari KAMERAmu”, which means that to create the art of photography does not have to use an expensive camera, the
most important is the satisfaction of creating an art of using the camera itself.
On April 1st
Zenith radio in collaboration with the Komunitas Perempuan Radio Zenith
will held an Off-air presentation “Sehat dan Cantik” with Holistic
Clinic Modern Life of Life with Mr. Prakoso Arif, SH at 9.00 am in Ada
Baru. The event will discuss the health by acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Regular event that
held every year is Tenda Takjil, which is distributed a free meal to break the
fasting (berbuka puasa), there is also a mini stage to entertain the residents.
There are activities that carried out in this Radio, such as a social service
program; visited a orphanage, and organized a break and sahur together. Sahur
program hold quiz and competition to wake people for Sahur, for example by a
musical instrument that unique or just shout the word “sahur.. sahur.. sahurr”
as loud as you can. How exciting!
For me, joining
this community is very useful because it is a positive thing, we can interact
and socialize with many people. We can express what we feel, moreover, we can
request songs that we want to listen, and we also can attend many activities
that organized, because there are many communities in this Radio. Join a
positive community can give us many benefits.
