IRN USA Radio News feeds out two newscasts each hour. One at the top and one at the bottom, and both come loaded with network spots inbetween the news segments (TOP: 0:00-1:00 news, 1:00-2:00 net spot, 2:00-3:00 news, 3:00-3:30 net spot, 3:30-5:00 news / BOTTOM: 0:00-1:00 news, 1:00-2:00 net spot, 2:00-3:00 business news). However, when listening to the news on one of their news affiliates stations, I've noticed the bottom of the hour newscast is a copy of the first minute of the top of the hour. It's not the station recording the top and replaying it either, because the net spot at 1:00-2:00 changes at the bottom. I would just expect that a national syndicated news service would actually create a new newscast at the bottom of the hour. Especially one that comes with 2 min 30 sec of network spots per hour.

IRN-USA Newscasts
- Thread starter livingfruitvirus
- Start date
The stations that play this don't care about a quality newscast. They're usually fourth of fifth-tier stations that can't get any other affiliation and just need something to fill the top of the hour to their next talk show. I haven't heard an ad on IRN-USA that isn't pushing the owner's books and other venues for outlining cranky conspiracy theories.
The content, of course, seems inversely proportional to spot load. Stories seem to break on IRN-USA hours or even days after they make those networks with actual newsgathering staffs. All of their cuts seem to be recycled AP stuff. I have to wonder how those AP reporters feel about having their work aired next to ads for "The New Economic Disorder".

Aren't you thinking of SRN?kc1ih said:Isn't IRN-USA content tailored for conservative religious stations? Or am I thinking of some other network?
IRN/USA Radio news?
The mantra of the repro-Bates family, i.e. Dr. (Apparently honorary since it is nowhere to be found) Larry Bates and his son, Chuck Bates have quite the background in the field of broadcast news. (NOT) Dr. Larry Bates is a veteran newsman, (sic) an economist [PhD in Agricultural Economics supposedly) and best-selling author. (Says who - Larry says!). A former Legislator in the Blanton era in Tennessee back in the 1970's and Bank CEO, Dr. Bates is a (nationally recognized) authority on geopolitical systems, the economy and their impact on people’s lives. (OK here we go)
Chuck Bates, also an economist, (Not really-He just knows how to sell gold and silver) is Executive Vice President and News Director for IRN/USA Radio News. (And got his start in broadcasting working for dad, and has never done a news shift.) He previously served as an assistant in the office of Political Affairs in the White House. (Dad got him the job when he was in Tennessee politics.)

OR
When did he become a Doctor/PhD? Is it an honorary degree?????

The ad ( if not PI's for 3-10 dollars a spot ) are for the Bates MLM products from Colloidal Silver, Stem Cell pills, health and nutritional products that give then quite a hefty cash flow. Then there are the books and tapes that sell for quite a sum of money, the Economic newsletter presenting convincing information that the call to action is to call the toll free number of FAMC, First American Monetary Consultants, Inc., which has its corporate headquarters in Fort Collins, Colo., and additional offices in Columbia, Mo., and El Paso, Texas, primarily does economic and political consulting.

FAMC also has a publishing division, which distributes its Monetary & Economic Review and sells educational books, tapes, DVDs and CDs. BUT the FAMC side of the organization, devoid of Securities and Exchange Commission and Federal Communications Commission regulation because it is a satellite delivered service, advising those who want to protect themselves from "Economic Disorder and the massive transfer of wealth" to buy GOLD, Silver and coins that will "only go up in value' as a hedge against the coming wipeout of the dollar. Some hefty sums have come in as buyers are told of 30-45 day delivery dates that
have been known to drag out to months and months. Once the money has changed hands, those hoping to receive their financial security and left wondering when they will ever get what they paid for. Some are still wondering.
The news is just a vehicle to sell the books, tapes and financial services and service the network for the lecture and seminars coming to a city near you. The $500,000 satellite GPS full blown IRN mobile newsroom is Larry Bates personal luxury hotel on wheel as he travels the south and western parts of the US on his lecture circuit.
The news is pre-recorded, computer fired and an alleged "unspun" and "non-rip and read” take on what is really happening and not what the liberal media is dishing out. At least that is the mission statement! With limited news sources, bare bones staff and time restrictions, the research is non-existent; the wires are limited via Associated Press and Metro Networks. The job is 'get 'er done'!
When the family of the late founder of the USA Radio network was drowning in red ink they approached the Bates family and decided to merge. IRN absorbed the 2000+ stations who took the USA Radio newscasts and since yes some are religious, many more are not; the content is just
mainstream simple basic news as seen through the eyes of the reporter on duty.
Just listening long enough with reveal how the content can change depending on who is on duty. No on duty editor or news director or assistant news director is on duty at an assignment desk monitoring for consistency and continuity.
News & Views is a live two-hour, issues-oriented and caller-intensive daily radio news magazine delivered from an economist’s point of view. (That says it all - Delivered from an economist’s point of view.
