4. Who would be the audience for your media product? FINAL

The people who are the audience of my magazine would do a lot of shopping at HMV, because they are mainly music fanatics and HMV is the biggest place known for music, they are also likely to shop at smaller, more independent music shops, as HMV is very mainstream, whereas my magazine promotes a lot of smaller bands who are less well known, and may not be sold at HMV, and more likely to be sold at independent shops, such as Rockaboom. My magazine is a rock/metal magazine much like Kerrang magazine, so the readers are likely to listen to well known rock bands such as Foo Fighters, Green Day, Slipknot and Nirvana, however the magazine is aimed a lot towards small bands, so the readers will listen probably to a lot of independent, unknown, underground new bands, such as Hawk Eyes and Dangerous! The readers music is not likely to be limited to only new bands, but more than likely they will listen to a lot of new music, is that is probably the magazines main appeal. On television the readers of my magazine are likely to watch music television stations such as Kerrang! Tv and Scuzz Tv, as it is aimed towards people who are big music fans, rather than casual listeners, meaning they will listen to music whenever they get the chance, including on tv. When they want a break from music, the television they watch probably would consist of comedy programmes such as ‘Mock The Week’ and it is unlikely that they would watch any reality tv shows such as the x factor or any gossipy television, as rock music is part of there life, it is a more rebellious genre than pop music as it pushes more boundaries, so the readers are probably looking for some outrageous, boundary pushing comedy to laugh at rather than chatty, gossipy tv programmes.
