all news station on I Heart Radio
- Thread starter benale
- Start date
I found this yesterday on the IHeart app. Listened only briefly, but it sounds a bit like the old CNN Headline News.
This kind of format seems a bit expensive for CC to just run on IHeart. I'm thinking they're going to roll this out to their stations. WGST in Atlanta just dumped conservotalk, wonder if they'll launch this one in CNN's old stomping grounds.

Well now ARNN has to compete with Clear Channels 27/7 all-News feed on I heart Radio.
But the problem with 2 all-news national networks competing together is that they could only market in Smaller DMA's. The problem here is that they cannot extract a big DMA market audience because of the fact that there are established all-news stations in those areas and the demand for local content would be much higher.
Look at the 1970's San Francisco 99.7 KNAI was an NBC NIS all-news affiliate but it failed because KCBS-AM and KGO-AM killed them off in the rating and because the Bay Area Market demanded more local content for the all-news stations and News/Talk stations in the area.

I'm wondering if CC are trying to replicate the Cumulus/ABC Radio formula
have 2 radio news feeds like KSFO-AM and other Talk radio stations would be the ABC-E affiliate and the ABC-I affiliate for KGO-AM and WYAY-FM. In the case of CC the Fox News affiliates would go to CC's top Talk stations and the 24/7 news would go to CC's secondary talk stations.

As I posted in the other thread, Crys Quimby (heard on 24/7) lists this on her linked in profile.
"National Director of Programming / Total News Source"
She's also presumably still VP/Programming & Operations for what is now Total Traffic/NY (she still lists it as Metro.)
Heard Terry Sheridan. He's the ex-WINSer who left for a one month ride on the FM News 101.9 Express To Nowhere. His LinkedIn profile lists him an anchor/reporter for Clear Channel Radio.
Will they put this on the air? Well, it may not be as "expensive" as you think. I presume all the anchors are CC/Total employees, and CC has enough big market local newsrooms to make it work. I look forward to hearing WTAM folks on there
And like similar such projects, it probably isn't costing them much to give additional duties to existing employees. Voicetracking, anyone?
