Kerrang is a radio station which mainly focuses on the rock genre. The music it plays is very consistent and is always rock music. This is because the listeners have come to this certain radio to listen to this type of music. Kerrang is popular as it does not disappoint its listeners and is also very reliable on delivering rock music to the people. I also discovered that the adverts played on Kerrang are also rock related. They have adverts such as Nickleback’s new album. Nickleback is a rock artist. Through playing adverts like this, the listeners don’t loose interest as they are still hearing the rock music they came to the station to hear and Kerrang do not loose viewers due to advertisements.
