The social concern with designing some kind of contents has been growing for the last several years in multimedia society. In current Broadcasting industry, an important topic has been focused on how to design contents. The Ministry of Public Management in Japan announced that Analog broadcasting will be terminated and completely replaced to Digital broadcasting in 2011. Generally speaking, most broadcasting stations in Japan were worried about the shortage of contents, funds and manpower. However, the effective methodology for contents production is not established in many cases. On the other hand, various studies have been conducted on designing contents in a number of academic fields. These studies have produced important achievements. We focus on designing radio contents. Besides, we consider the method of competitive contents in all its aspects. First, we explored the relationship between the process of radio production and structure of the scenario of radio program. We, then, observed Creators¡Ç working style. Understanding the relationship between the process of radio production and structure of the scenario of radio program is important for a number of theoretical and practical reasons. The purpose of this study is extraction of structured knowledge and development of a contents support tool in radio program works. This paper describes an application of the radio program components by applying the methodology of ``Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer for Knowledge Liquidization and Crystallization.'' In this paper, as a case model of the ``Knowledge Creation'' in modern society, we propose a radio production and its contents generation methodology.
