Hamish Andy vs Roy and HG

The two stations FOXfm and TripleM have to major drive programs that are popular, but have different target audiences. I listened to The life - podcast 54 with Roy and HG. After that, i listened to the 8th of May podcast with Hamish and Andy. Both programs have a big expectation to meet up with every show they make, because they have to be contentious and funny.

Starting with Roy and HG, i personally do not find them any where near as entertaining as Hamish and Andy, but that may be because of my demographic and what they have aimed for. It is useful to have a team of 2 people so that they can feed off each other and chemistry can happen when you put the right two together and that's what both stations have done well. Rog and HG use each other to talk maturely about anything. One the episode i listened to, they were talking about called each other different names and the logies, along with some sport discussions. The target they have directed their humour for are definitely the middle-aged to older demographic, as long as they are in a car driving home at that time.

Hamish and Andy, have a strong youth orientated vision for humour and gives the listeners an ability to create an imagination using their "in-the-moment" stories, such as the japanese experience that i was listening to. Their humour would not appeal to the older generation because they are not the same. The type of content that Hamish and Andy unravel on their show is always something that is random, extreme, or parodical. I believe that the material that they use on their shows as their primary supply of content, is pre-recorded by a portable recording device that they use to travel and do the things not possible in a radio station, which is why their stories and experiences are so immersive for the listener.

Hamish and Andy's strength in their show, is that they have already made themselves popular on the television network, which gives the radio listener more incentive to listen to what they offer. Roy and HG, however have their own strengths as well, where they may not be as youth-orientated as HA, but their material is well directed for the listener who just wants to listen to a normal conversation.
