CNN in :60

B

I know that this post may be a violation of rule #6, but there has been no response on the board I originally posted this on...

I was wondering if anyone has heard this particular feature offered by CNN Radio/WW1 (CNN in :60). It's basically a 60 second in-your-face headline update with an uptempo music bed and lots of quick soundbites. This is not your father's CNN. A sample can be found at: http://www.cnnradionet.com/PUBLIC/Home/60/

One of my local stations (a sports-talk station) has been using this for a few weeks in morning drive (previously no national news at all). This station's FM counterpart, a Hot AC which runs CNN at the top of every hour has been "experimenting" with this at the bottom of the hour in AM drive this week. What other stations are using this? Any thoughts on this style of presentation? What formats do you think this would work best on? (obviously in my mind NOT an all-news or news/talk station)

Thanks for the info on this service. I like it. It's a great for music intensive stations to get some news on the air.
