WBUR initially went to NPR for coverage then switched to the BBC at 11:22
because in monitoring the Beeb they had much more meat in their coverage
vs NPR that was mostly talking heads.  When I got home I surfed TV and
found that BBC America was still providing the best coverage with live
reporters.
