Your Live in 3, 2, 1...

Our class took an exciting trip to Much Music in Toronto on Friday November 20th. We explored the city, had fun with our friends and enjoyed the show MuchOnDemand. The purpose of this live interactive show is to entertain youth about what is going on in the media. They bring up music, movies and controversial topics. A live show verses a taped show is more exciting and entertaining. It gives the viewers a feeling as they are actually sitting there with the audience. It also gives them a chance to bring up recent topics that are going around in the media, not something that happened a few weeks ago. CTV and Much Music make money off of this program. Other money makers are also all the workers, behind the scenes crew and everyone else who is involved with the broadcast.

This interactive show lets off the message of all the hot topics that are occurring in the media. It informs the viewers about everything that is happening with celebrities, music, movies and more. During the show the producer lets members of the audience to input their opinion of certain controversial topics. This gives the message a two-sided outlook on what they are talking about. It makes the topic more believable and interesting when you hear what others have to say. The lifestyles these VJ’s and people involved in the show have are laid back and easy going personalities. It seems as if they have not many problems going on in their lives and everything is going great. This helps to keep them always acting positive which makes the show more enjoyable.

People who watch the show are usually preteens and teens between that age group. This is the intended target audience because the show talks about certain topics which relate to their lives. The show tries to focus more on topics which are evolving in the media because that’s what their viewers want to see and hear. Parents and adults may think the show is useless and not agree on everything they are saying. They also may think it is not educational and is a waste of time. Our class got to see a bit of how they prepare for everyday’s show and what goes on such as rehearsals and behind the scenes. It was cool to interact with the VJ’s and ask them questions about MOD. I would like to know more about how they prepare each days schedule and how they figure out which segments should be aired and talked about. Our day was very fun filled and it has to be the best class trip I’ve ever been on!
