Detailed Magazine Research

Classic FM doesn’t have a wider appeal than for example NME. The music played on their radio station, would appeal to an older generation of the public in my opinion. I could be completely wrong however; there might be hundreds of teenagers listening to it. But they wouldn’t be telling their mates.
The magazine itself is quite…posh? Sophisticated? I don’t really know the right words to describe it. Looking at the layout it is very streamlined and clean-cut. The articles are pretty much all the same; they all look at classical music – new and old, there a lot of reviews of albums and composers. Plus, a regular feature is interviews with classical stars provide new interest for the reader.
I do think this magazine is dominated by young, attractive women such as Myleene Klass who often appear on the cover, and for this particular issue are actually guest editor. Also on the cover pictures they are always smiling, whereas on a rock magazine for example, the artists or models are scowling and looking moody.I should mention the colour scheme which is a classic look of red, black and white print. The red however, isn’t a scarlet red but a kind of pinky red which is quite gentle.
