Headphones are used so the presenters are able to to monitor the level and expression of their voice, monitor the guests voice, listen to messages from the control room and to make sure the background music is adjusted correctly.
Microphones are used by each presenter so the audio is loud and clear for the listeners.
BBC Radio 1:
A Playlist is a list of around 40 records which are made each week for repeated daytime play(A-list records get 25 plays a week, B-list 15, and C-list eight to 10). The songs on the playlist are chosen by iTunes music charts, Youtube views, Spotify hits, Twitter followers and Facebook likes. For example, BBC Radio 1 have a playlist committee who picks out the best songs to play each week from the R&B, pop, and rap genre. This allows a continous playlist to play so the presenters are put at ease as they do not have to worry about what song their going to put on next.A Digital Cartwall is an easy-to-use jingle player that offers multiple pages of instant audio buttons (56 per page) ready for quick playback or loading into a dedicated player. For example, BBC Radio 1 may use this when there is no DJ available so they can just press a button and the audio will play. It also includes a jingle of BBC Radio 1 so the listeners can identify the radio station. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WskkqHdBA1Q)
A Digital Playout System is usually a computer system that is used to record, store and play all the audio content that will be used on your radio station. This makes it a lot easier for presenters as they do not need to look through record libraries for the tracks they need. For BBC Radio 1, Presenters such as Maya Jama can record audio before she is live and then if she is not available when she goes live, the station is able to play the recorded audio.
