LO5: Copyright, PRS, legal and ethical issues

Copyright:
To avoid any copyright infringements a PRS license will be purchased, we would have to seek permission for music regardless if they are signed to a record label or not. A PRS license would allow us to use the intellectual property of artists and bands. A PRS license will allow us to play any music on air, this will cost £300 and will have to be renewed annually. We would need a PRS licence because the music on the show is contemporary and could be music from the charts.

Legal and ethical issues:
As our product is based on the genre of Hip Hop/Rap, we must be careful about the use of profane language and discriminatory representations, such as sex, drugs and women.The show will not include profanity and will not mock/slander people. The profanity in music will be taken out prior to the show being aired. Interviews on the show will be pre recorded as they can then be edited and any speech that is not suitable for listening will be removed. Songs that contain inappropriate language will be edited and the profanity will be 'bleeped' out.

The legal and ethical considerations would be discussed in a pre production meeting.

For the audio sample, we have permission to use the sounds as the instrumental and song was created using a free sound kit available to download from YouTube. The voices were recorded by us and we had full permission to record/use them from the subjects.

LO5: Contingency plans

If presenters are not available:
When presenters are unable to be on the show, guest presenters will act as a substitute, these presenters will be chosen a week before the show goes on air.

If guests are not available:
If guests are unable to appear on the show, a substitute guest will be called in, if this guest is unable to appear on the show, then the presenters will have to interact with the audience more and deal with the topics themselves.

If equipment is not available:
If equipment is not available, we would have to improvise and remove the segment(s) where that equipment is needed, for example if microphones are not available a playlist of music and pre recorded interviews  will play for the entire length of the show.

If the preferred time slot is not available:
The show will have to go in a time slot 1 hour behind, or 1 hour in front of the proffered scheduled time.

Based on the feedback from Sheffield Live there are a few improvements we need to do to improve our ideas however, we have some strengths. 
The strength for our products are that both of our products were good and fulfilled a gap in the market which means we would have a good audience and our products would have the right target audience. The areas where we need to improve is decide which product  we will create. 
We will decide this on which product is best suited for the community and we will need to make sure the music and guests don't use any profanity and stick to OFCOM rules and regulations.
This would mean we would need to pre record any interviews to cut out any profanity if used and we also would need to find clean music so we stick to OFCOM rules.
For our product Half Time we will need to gain more knowledge about different sports and e able to answer any questions asked by the public. 
For Hot 28 we will need to find more music and guests for the show because if we keep playing the same music this wont satisfy the listeners.
Local artists such as 'Skinz' and 'Azzy' would have their music featured on the show. As the artists are based in Sheffield, they would tie into the Hot 28 show well, as they can represent Sheffield whilst gaining exposure and becoming more well known amongst the city. Artists who aren't from or based in Sheffield such as 'Mike GLC' could feature on the show as they have done collaborations with artists from Sheffield, this could enable their music to reach more people as well as advertising local talent from Sheffield.

This is a feedforward sheet where I have addressed the questions asked about strengths and weaknesses of the presentation and the audio products.
