Each of these practices includes a meticulous process of formatting that quite frankly, is a pain in the neck. That being said though, they are both quick and to the point styles of writing. If I had to choose one of them I think I would choose writing for radio.
I am probably one of few people who listen to radio these days. I enjoy listening to it because it is around the clock and gets me the information I need to know without having to beat around the bush. It’s because of listeners like me that I enjoy writing for radio better. The only thing you have to worry about is fitting the time slot and working in sound bites. Because everything on the radio is so segmented it makes it easy to just make a key point and move on.
On television, you have to worry about formatting for visuals and working in voiceovers. In radio, there is no need for that. You know that your audience is listening to your voice and relying on you for the information rather than the visuals on the television screen that can be so distracting.
Due to its upbeat pace and simplicity to detail, I think I’d take writing for radio any day of the week.
