radio news feeds (closed-circuit)

C

country103

i know there is news feeds at the top of the hour, i'm wondering what happens before, during, or after the closed-circuit news feeds after the newscast (like ABC Newscall, and the feeds on CNNRadio)

all i know is that ten seconds before the closed-circuit ABC Newscall feed started, an automated recording came on saying something similar to "Satcom 0-5, Newsnet One, East". That refers to the digital version of the ABC satellite system that began in the '80s.

i heard a full closed-circuit CNNRadio feed on 1390 AM by accident, it happened all night. (it was the 12:07 ET feed) (there was too much dead air after the feed) after a minute of dead air, a strange tone sounded, then an announcer said this: "GOOD MORNING STATIONS, THIS IS THE CNNRadio NETWORK IN ATLANTA(this is a place in georgia where CNN & CNNRadio was created), THIS IS THE 12:07 NEWSFEED FOR FEBUARY 8TH 2006, THIS FEED CONTAINS CUTS xxx THROUGH xxx"
for each cut the announcer says the cut number ("CUT xxx") followed by 3 countdown tones

then the feed ended: "STATIONS THIS CONCLUDES TODAY'S FEED, THIS IS THE CNNRadio NETWORK IN ATLANTA"

anybody know how it's done

i also like audio of the feeds if anybody has some

thanks ;)
 
How what is done? Sending a newscall down is no different than, say, an NBA game would be for ESPN radio.

Sorry if that sounds a little rude, I'm just trying to say that I don't see a question.
 
this is the actuals for stations to utilize in their locally presented news
every news network i have worked with provided these
 
Back in the pre-digital days, CBS Radio would send down their closed-circuit stuff on what they called a "speed feed" This was accomplished by the CBS TOC playing their tape at a high speed. I would record it at 15 ips and play it back at 7 1/2 ips, where it sounded completely natural. We did the "CBS Radio Mystery Theatre" that way, as well as news actualities and commercial feeds. One night I was elsewhere in the building and missed the feed. The engineer on duty in NYC very helpfully ran it again
since nothing else was being fed down at the time.

Sat. music network did that also at one point seems like it was a break late at night.

you always hope the last person toggle the correct switches to get the break covered.
