The ID creation process of the radios is replaced with new ones in each new broadcasting period.

For example, in a nightclub, the DJ broadcasts his ID's between songs, advertising them and giving the guests pleasant moments.

Works known as radio ID and DJ ID in radio broadcasting are referred to by terms such as trailer, VTR, intro in television and cinema broadcasting. However, in television broadcasting, if there is a situation that introduces the identity of the broadcast, it would not be wrong to use the term ID instead of these terms. In other words, there is no harm in using it as a TV ID.

As a result, it is a good step for innovation and change that radio broadcasters welcome their listeners with a new identity by placing ID orders in each new broadcasting period.
