There are two main types of radio programming - factual and news. Factual can be anything from music shows to cooking shows to documentaries, and news programmes can be anything from short bulletins to longer news programmes to current affairs. The types of radio programmes range from channel to channel, and change depending on the time of day and the audience expected to be listening. For example, a short news bulletin will usually play several times a day on public radio, such as Radio 1, as well as commercial radio stations, and they will usually be shortest on commercial radio at peak times. Longer news programmes will usually be played on stations such as Radio 4 because their audience will be more interested in the news, whereas other stations have to focus on the general public and trying to attract as many viewers as possible, and longer news could be seen as boring to their audience, who probably are more interested in the music on the station.
