Similarities and Differences Of Drivetime Bulletins



Having evaluated both radio stations I am going to note down the similarities and differences.

Similarity's:


When analysing both radio stations I noticed that both bulletins contained the same news stories. Both Magic and Radio 2 included the news stories about Prince George, Stuart Hall, David Cameron, London Statistics and the Great British Bake Off.

A similarity of both bulletins is the number of news stories - both radio stations included  a total of five news stories in their bulletin.

An additional similarity is the running order. Both bulletins had the same running order of the news stories. Magic and Radio 2 positioned their news stories in the same order as each other, which may suggest either that they have a similar audience or that it was a slow news day.

Another similarity, is the news values used in each story.

Differences 

One difference came across from both bulletins is the level of detail used in each. Magic contained a lot more detail in comparison to the detail in the Radio 2 news stories. This may suggest that Magic is targeting a slightly different audience to Radio 2, or that the news will be covered in more detail on Radio 2 in an earlier or later bulletin.
