Comparing news bulletins on local radio stations

I am going to conduct research by comparing two different local news radio bullets. Both bulletins I am going to compare will be aired at the same time and on the same day. I am going to compare and contrast the running order, facts and news values of each bulletin. 


The two local radio stations I am going to be comparing are BBC radio Birmingham and BBC radio Liverpool.

Different types of jingles

-
After listening to a variety of different radio stations, I have concluded that there a number of different kinds of jingles on each station.  The site below includes many of the different types of jingles.

There were two presenters on this show, a young male and female. They both spoke in an informal manner, with a slow relaxed voice as well as having 'banter' with each other. An example of this is when they both started singing the lyrics to a Rihanna song, whilst laughing about it.  The second radio show news bulletin which I listened too was from Magic. The presenter on this show was an Older woman. Unlike the presenters on Capital, she spoke in a much more cl...
