Hello friends of the older generation who were children or teenagers from the 90's to early 2000's, of course some of you like to watch RADIO, please.
Before the digital era as it is today, of course radio was an alternative to entertainment other than television.
Today, the millennial generation, maybe some rarely listen to radio as an alternative to entertainment, but until now, what makes radio unique can be said to be timeless, what is it, let's see, guys.....
01. Anonymous Name
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO THAT ARE TIMELESS
With the presence of Facebook, Twitter and other social media, now many people have second names after their real names or anonymous names.
However, the use of an anonymous name or a second name, has been used by RADIO listeners at that time until now, so radio listeners who actively communicate with radio broadcasters, mostly use anonymous names.
But the anonymous name that radio listeners use is not to avoid the meatballs carrying HT, you know, but just to make fun of it.
02. Place of Greetings
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO THAT ARE TIMELESS
"Want to say hello to Mayang who is taking her final exams, cheer up, you guys!"
Who, here, has ever sent greetings on the radio like the one above?
Saying hello on the radio is indeed one of the most eagerly awaited segments. You are free to convey messages, you know, from longing greetings to absurd messages.
What's even more unique is that in the greeting segment, there are moments of reciprocal greetings. If you have sent greetings like that, it's time to wait for a reply to a message from your crush or friend. If the message is conveyed and answered, it must be very happy!
The way to send greetings was via SMS or telephone before RADIO had a social media account like it is today.
Now if you want to send greetings, just mention the radio social media account.
03. Request Song
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO THAT ARE TIMELESS
If now you want to listen to your favorite song, just scroll through the playlist via the music application on your gadget.
But if you listen to the radio, you must first request the broadcaster to play your favorite song.
Uniquely, with this song request, you can use it to express your deepest feelings to your crush or ex, or give encouragement to your gang who have the same hobby of listening to the radio.
04. Quiz with Prizes
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO THAT ARE TIMELESS
Not only can it be used as a medium to send messages and request songs, it turns out that radio also often gives out attractive prizes.
The quiz mechanism on radio shows is not much different from the quiz on television. you just need a quick race to call a radio station or send an SMS. The prizes are also no joke, from merchandise to cash!
This segment still exists today, although the method is different from the old radio, if you want to take part in the radio quiz, now all you have to do is visit the radio's website or social media accounts, often on IG or Twitter.
05. Radio Play
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO THAT ARE TIMELESS
Radio skits are one of the segments that radio listeners always look forward to.
Before the existence of podcasts on various streaming services such as YouTube and Spotify as they are today, in ancient radio shows there were many radio drama segments. Starting from wayang stories for Javanese radio, romantic stories, to mystical stories.
Listening to stories via old radio segments, gives a different sensation. Especially if you listen to horror stories in the middle of a Friday night. Guaranteed you are afraid to go to the bathroom alone at night.
06. Advertising
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO THAT ARE TIMELESS
It's not just TV that has ads, there's also a pause on the radio to broadcast the ads.
Because the radio can't see the pictures or videos of the advertisements being broadcast, the advertisements that are narrated usually use funny language.
What makes me laugh out loud is when there are advertisements for strong drugs or traditional medicine.
One of Legend's advertisements that made me laugh out loud was the advertisement for one of the herbal medicines that was well-known for radio radio in Java, which read "PRING CAGAK RADIO, SOYO NJENGKING, SOYO JERO" (translate yourself) emoticon-Laughing (S)
Of course, there is a special sensation when you listen to the radio, which you can't feel like when you watch TV or YouTube, where you can interact with other broadcasters or listeners.
That's some of the characteristics of the radio that are timeless, thank you.
