Repetition has given Radio News a bad name. Listeners have told researchers that their biggest gripe about Radio is the repeated news stories throughout the day. Smart newsrooms can easily remedy that fault.
Repetition can also come in the form of a redundancy.
Stating the obvious or well-known facts. This is usually done to pad out a story used in long format news. But there is another kind of repetition the listener will really appreciate. Rarely does anyone listen to the Radio without a number of distractions. It s one of the benefits of the medium from the listener s point of view.
