February 2012
Today saw the first of a series of Roger Phillips' outside broadcasts. This is a recent initiative to attract new listeners from areas where our listener figures are low. Today's event was broadcast from Ainsale Methodist Church.
I was responsible for distributing BBC Radio Merseyside merchandise, photography and speaking with members of the public. During the event, Roger's producer asked me if I would also assume responsibility for monitoring and distributing any email communications received from listeners in response to the show.
I had to manage my time effectively so that I could complete all tasks whilst regularly monitoring the BBC email account for incoming emails. Also I had to answer questions from potential new listeners so I had to ensure that I was knowledgeable of the different programming slots and presenters. Memory and interpersonal were put to the test. In addition my time managment was crucial in ensuring we had a quick turnaround following completion of the event (packing photography and merchandising material and assiting with technical duties).
Overall, I feel it was a very beneficial day as we sucessfully raised our profile and gained a few new listeners along the way.
I later received an email from both Roger Phillips and Mick Ord the Managing Editor, thanking me for my help and assistance during the day.
