- Abstract
Radio and public service are often associated with information even though music programming has been part of public radio since its beginnings. The question is that not every audiovisual corporation shares the same notion of specialized music radio. Therefore, the aim of this article is to present a first exploratory approach by comparing the modus operandi of two public radio stations: iCat.cat and BBC Radio 6 Music. Within the framework of comparative media systems studies, we focus on studying the morning shows' playlists, as the flagship program of radio prime time and spearhead of the stations' programming policies. Obviously there are cultural differences between Catalonia and United Kingdom, nonetheless, we have chosen these stations because they both have similar approaches to a thematic conception that departs from commercial formula stations and operate under a programming strategy based on the so-called indie music.
