By Deisy Ruiz

In the hour radio show I performed last April 7, 2012, I made an interview about “How to Take Advantage of your Free Time”. I had two guests and they gave suggestions about how you can take advantage of your free time now that summer is coming. Some suggestions were: First, you need to realize in what activity you want to participate. Second, you can do a research about the places in which those activities will be held or how much you have to pay. Other activities the two students suggested us were go to the park with your family. Also, you can go to the beach, run, walk, or ride your bike. Moreover, you can play volleyball in the beach. In addition, there are some activities that can be done with money those activities are: go to Six Flags, Dorney Park, or even fly an airplane to go to Disney World in Miami or Disneyland in Los Angeles, as well you can plan with your family to go in a cruise. The two students suggested that people specially teenagers need to be involve in many activities to do not get involved in negative things, as well to be very active practicing sports because that is healthy too. My hour had an (UC) Urban Contemporary format considered the “melting pot” format, which attracts a large numbers of Hispanic and Black listeners as well as white. I used this format, because I know this area fall in this kind of population being me one of those too. I programmed my hour show by four quarters; I started my intro show in which I Introduce myself in the show, and the name of my show. Then, I gave an advance about what the show will be. Then, I sent a legal bumper ID, after that there was a song “Mami Ven Conmigo” Then, I started my show with the first part of the information about how to take advantage of your free time I interviewed the two teenagers where they explained how we can take advantage of the free time. Afterward, I sent a President Barak Obama PSA, then a song. Later, there was my second quarter with the same sequence. I continued with my second part of the information in which I made the interviewed based in the information the two students gave to the audience about do positive things instead of waste your time doing bad things. Moreover, they explained too about those places and activities peoples can do in family or in group either spending money or without spend money. Then, I sent a legal bumper ID, and then I sent another song “Yo No Se Manana”. After that, I sent another PSA (Bon Jovi). Afterward, there was another bumper ID. Then, there was the third part of the show; in this part, the students sent positive messages to young people about sport and how to live healthy. Later, there was another PSA (USHER ).
