Season 2 of ‘Changes’ on Joy Prime has captured audiences’ hearts with an exhilarating and breathtaking season premiere.
The show, which premiered on Wednesday, July 24, explored a mixed bag of media and legal-related issues, including fun and games, and a captivating studio audience.
Joy FM’s Doreen Andoh and legendary TV presenter, Eddy Blay graced the show and shared their experience in media and how it has evolved for the past two decades.
For Eddy Blay, who started with TV, technology has changed a lot of things about media with the infusion of social media as compared to their days.
“There were only three channels at the time. So, there was literally no opportunity. You had to be the best of the best to get on television. So, at that time, it was very competitive, but now it’s better for everyone because of social media and a lot of television stations. At that time, because of the competitiveness, you want to be great. You had to be different and bring something to the table,” he said.
From the radio perspective, Doreen also known as the radio goddess said radio presentation style has evolved.
“I learned from the get-go that we should pretty much weigh the songs we play. Songs with nude lyrics were definitely a no-no; we made sure we sampled the music before putting it on air. At that time, you also had to make sure that you were learning the songs and knowing which ones were radio edited, which means that they were clean songs. We went through training to learn pronunciations because a lot of people would boucher the local names, and it was unpardonable, but now presenters have walked away with too much,” she added.
Their conversation brewed the topic regarding the legal implications of foul utterances by on-air personalities both on traditional media and social media, to which Sena Hotor, a legal practitioner, gave insights with his expertise.
According to him, “There are some comments that either media personalities or guests or hosts on shows have made that have even made it very difficult for them to get representation by lawyers.”
Coupled with music and dance, the studio was lit with a magic performance by the Militant Dance Family, with Sappers Band 48 Engineer Regiment adding a twist of music, bringing out the excitement in the audience.
Catch the second episode on Friday, July 26, and learn more about how to handle changes that occur in life and interesting, shocking revelations from guests.
