A follow-up on the demise of AP All-News Radio

J

Johnf

I know I'm really behind the times here, but I just found out yesterday about the end of AP All News Radio. Sad. Out here near Portland, Oregon, I often listened to it on the Web at North Carolina's Triangle Radio News.

The end of AP All News Radio does indeed remind me of the sudden end in 1976 (I think it was) of NIS, the News and Information Service that NBC ran. That was sad as well.

I am curious -- how many affiliates did AP All News Radio have nationally at its peak, and how many in its last months?

Is anyone going to be preserving the AP All News Sounders for access on the Web? I was VERY pleased recently to find a spot on the Web where the NIS Sounders could be heard. It is at http://www.98wrc.com/vault.html.

I was a college student in Seattle about the time that NIS was operating, and although there never was an NIS affiliate in Seattle, at nighttime I was able to "DX" KYXI 1520 in Portland and KFBK 1530 in Sacramento, both of which were NIS affiliates.

I am, as you can tell, an all-news radio junkie. I'm also a bit frustrated locally, because while both Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., have local all-news radio stations, Portland hasn't had one since the demise of KYXI (which had locally originating programming after NIS ended).

At least 50 stations carried AP ANR in early May, when the plug was pulled. Don't know the peak count.

Hmmm. You are right. The link isn't working. But I have that particular Web site on my "favorites" list on my Internet Explorer and it is indeed still a working web page. I suggest going to wwww.98wrc.com and then going to the "Sound Vault" section.
