Comparisons and Differences between each radio show

While listening to Asda radio show and Radio 1 with Dec, I think that they have similar points to each other. Asda radio show presenter hardly talks instead picking to play more music and advertise products that are being sold in the store. When the presenter does talk its very brief and mainly about the songs that have just been played or staying tune in to listen to more Asda radio. This was the same for when I listened to Dev on Radio 1, his broadcast was played from 1-4 so I could understand that in the morning Radio 1 had less music and more of the presenter talking, but while Dev was broadcasting, he played more music and only spoke about the songs and what was going to come up in the show. There was a lot of sound beds in Dev's broadcast and advertisements about other radio 1 shows that were coming up.
The difference between these two shows was that Dev engaged the audience that was listening and read out there texts and took phone calls from the listeners. Where as Asda only engaged their audience with advertisements with products being sold in the store.
As my third choice I decided to listen to Classic FM, while all radio stations have a lot of similarities there is also a lot of differences. Where as Asda and Radio 1 just played the song that I was about to listen to they didn't give a background on the artist that was about to be played. Classic FM gave about 2 minutes explaining about the musician and there background and how they came about different songs. One other difference is clearly the song choices due to them being classical they last a lot longer than the average 3 to 4 minute songs on Asda or Radio 1. While listening to Classic FM I would of expected them to cut down the song like the do an different radio stations.
