My station will be called LH Radio (the LH stands for London Hits radio). It will be aimed at the age range of 10 – 30, playing the most recent pop hits. The news stories themselves will be a mix of local stories, entertainment stories and international stories.
I would begin the broadcast by rounding up the main news stories which I will go onto later in this broadcast The main series will consist of a local story about Boris Johnson trying to extend the congestion charge zone, a national story about hoards closing down, and an international story about the arrival of the first affordable electric car developed by Nissan.
My local story wills b about Boris Johnson extending the congestion charge zone to all of greater London. This could be done in an outside report style, with people being called in to play government officials and also possibly views form the locals about the situation. I belied that if we could get someone to play Boris junco, then it would make this Tory seem incredibly real. In terms of extra details to this story, I would also say that some of the refund rules of the previous congestion charge are not available with this version. An example of this would be that as part of the new congestion charge rulings, blue badge holders would no longer be exempt format eh congestion charge.
My second news story would be a nest story with regards to the credit crunch. It would concern the store Harrods. Harrods is a luxury goods store that has been trading fro nearly 200 years, so therefore it would be a large shock to a great many people if this store closed. I would use a vox pop in this story to look at the views from the people who use Harrods. I would also use sound effects to create the impression of a Monster Sale.
My final story would be an international story with regards to the fact that Nissan has just completed work on an electric car that is incredibly cheap and affordable. I would have an interview from the president of Nissans Japanese branch. This interview would involve someone speaking with a foreign accent in order to increase authenticity. This interview would explain how powerful the car is and how environmentally friendly it is as well. I old also include some sound effects I this piece, in order to make it seem more authentic.
Nissans car can do 100mph, being released for under 20 thousand pounds

Jack, you have obviously thought carefully about creating a rival to Capital or Magic, with a range of stories and appropriate news values for your audience. The Boris idea is very promising and the closure of Harrods is almost plausible in the current financial climate. The electric car story has both local and national resonance.
My only concern is spell-checking. There's a lovely ironic wordplay in:
"I belied that if we could get someone to play Boris junco, then it would make this Tory seem incredibly real"
but did you intend it?
However there's also a danger your good ideas could become scrambled in the rush to get them on the page. Do get into the habit of checking.
