| Raw FM's plot | Hitz FM's reality |
|
As with last week's episode, the Tomic
Sisters are prominent. This time, we saw more of their mother and
father, and the nature of their relationship.
Cara is now spending a large amount of time at the station, and Sarah's profile on-air is shooting sky high. The episode centres on her "free speech" campaign on-air.. allowing virtually anything (especially racial comments) to go to air from her callers. One caller flatters her, and ends up joining her on-air. He turns out to be a white supremacist, and after having his say.. is asked to leave. Meanwhile, in his mid-dawn "gay techno" show, Mark 'comes out of the closet', although his parents had trouble tuning in.. Other Raw members are concerned at what the ABA will think of Sarah's show, and ask her to tone things down. This is one of the hardest hitting episodes, with the unforgettable ending, where Mark goes to comfort Sarah as she runs from the building. Her 'racial purity' friend violently attacks Mark, and the last frame is the thug's fist in your TV, as he punches Sarah, who came to Mark's aid. |
Unlike it's cousin on TV, Hitz FM has only
recently been able to afford a talkback system to put callers live on
the radio. Hitz's on-air interaction with listeners was previously
dominated by requests and messages.. from teenage love messages to
organising friends to meet at a particular place on a Saturday night.
Hitz FM has also had a few announcers in it's history who tried "to overstep the line" - with varying consequences. Like it's Raw FM, Hitz also needs to abide by ABA regulations, and keep in mind that the 'test transmissions' they do are supposed to prove that the station is fit to receive a license. The station has also had a number of gay volunteers, and while they were not always as "out there" as Marco.. their presence adds to the variety of the place.
Unfortunately, Hitz FM has also received some
really nasty faxes,
