Information About

All-news Radio




All-news radio is available in both local and Syndicated forms, and is carried in some form on both major US Satellite Radio networks. Some all-news stations, like KFWB and WCBS , carry sports, and all-news stations may occasionally carry public affairs programs, simulcasts of news magazine shows like 60 Minutes . Some former all news stations, like KNX and WBZ , now run Talk Radio programs on weekends and during off peak hours. Most of these stations are owned by CBS Radio , and therefore are affiliated with the CBS radio network.

Many stations brand themselves ''Newsradio'' but only run continuous news during the morning and afternoon Drive Times . These stations are properly labeled as "news/talk" Talk Radio stations. Also, some National Public Radio stations identify themselves as ''News and Information'' stations, which means that in addition to running the NPR news magazines like '' Morning Edition '' and '' All Things Considered '', they run other information programs such as '' Day To Day '', '' Talk Of The Nation '', and the BBC World Service .


HISTORY


WINS became New York's first all-news station in April, 1965. WCBS began all-news programming on August 28 , 1967 , although its first broadcasts were on its sister FM station after a plane crashed into its tower, knocking the AM station off the air.
