The only difference I spotted was the sound quality and NPR was better.
This a the BBC news cast and it included news such as mentioning that, Pakistani army freed 25 hostages some were killed because of the hostages was wearing an explosive belt and Taliban it is said that “Taliban is to be blamed”.
Second came reconsolidation between Armenia and turkey

Was the feature interesting?
At first I wasn’t interested honestly but by the second, third, forth, fifth, and sixth story I was so alert and I enjoyed the transition between each news. In addition, the text itself was very catchy which was something that made me keep listening and I am surprised that such news really caught my attention because of their text.

Quality of Sound/ Nat Sound:
The quality was not as good as I thought and by the time a story is playing I was hoping that a NAT sound would play but it doesn’t which really got me disappointed as there were many places for a NAT sound to be put and would have helped the story a lot.


Quality of the Announcer’s voice:
The reporters are those who had the problem I had some problems understanding their accent but as for the reporter in comparison to others I’ve listened to he can pass as one of the top 10 for radio off course.

Was the Feature too long/ short?
The information were straight forward and to the point even the information was as brief and informative as possible. I liked that way of handling use as they are to me the most effective.
