The sources of the data were the radio announcers’ utterances that had been collected from September 16 to September 20, 2013. There were five recordings
taken from the “Sunset Drive” program because the researcher only got a permission to record the program during that time. The researcher chose five
editions of topics discussed in the prog ram because the “Sunset Drive” program is
five days daily program and the researcher found the phenomena of code switching during those editions.
C. Research Participants
The participants of this study were two main announcers and two additional announcers. The four announcers lived in Yogyakarta, X1, X2, X3, and X4. Most
of the announcers graduated from one of Universities in Yogyakarta. Most of the announcers used Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Jawa in their daily
communication. When they talked in the radio program, sometimes they switched Bahasa Indonesia into English. They learned English since elementary until
University. The announcers were the participant of this study. For supporting the results, the researcher interviewed the participants. The researcher interviewed
32 few of the participants to get their background that caused them to switch
languages. Based on the information about their background, the researcher found that they learned English only at school and used Bahasa Indonesia or Bahasa
Jawa to communicate. However, during the broadcasting in the radio, they often created switch utterances subconsciously when talking with listeners or other
announcers. Interview on July 8, 2014 The principle of this research consisted of recording the transcript of
interaction between the radio broadcasters and listeners in various situations during the program. This study, however, only used the code-switching of the
subject investigated in five recordings with different topics, for instance graduation, jobseeker, falling in love, Wednesday diary and music. Since the
announcers’ utterances in radio program were too broad to be used as a whole, the researcher classified the utterances based on the day of publication and the topics.
