There are a variety of different music institutions available. They involving exhibiting music promos in the United Kingdom. A few of these music channels are;
Kiss
Receives audience viewing weekly reach of 0.6% (audience share not available) Focuses on playing the pop genre and also chart hits (top 40). As well as having a music channel, Kiss also has a radio station available, the logo for this is slightly different in which they include the station numbers. The colours of this logo is simple and the shape takes the form of the letter 'K'. This is a very simple/basic looking logo.

  1. Becky - this is looking great - you're working hard and covering all the tasks in detail. Keep this lelel to hit band 4! You should add: (1) deconstructions of your ancillary tasks - a couple of digipaks and mag ads for an acoustic performer. (2) try to apply / explain how the theories we covered apply to your selected videos in more detail.

    Well done!!!!
