8. Comparison.
All of the radio bulletins have good and detailed information, the one that stands
out is BBC radio as it has much detailed stories and has the even amount of
negative and positive stories. The worst one was BBC radio 5 which lacked
information and was very short also it was to detailed to understand for a younger
audience, also there was no music only until the end and at the beginning, so it
was difficult to understand when a new story ended. All of the other radio station
were good and well at giving you a story that intrigued you and didn't bore you.
