The new NBC comes to Delaware

Noticed on this site that CNN Radio News is done and NBC Radio News is returning. Then while listening to Cool 101.3 yesterday, I noticed they were airing the NBC news. About a minute worth of headines with commercials, just before the local news.
 
Its a very modern sound to NBC, no sounders like CBS or like the NBC of old. It is like Mutual near the end. They still sent a TOH newscast (5 minutes). the BOH news was suspended. But at :20 and :40 they sent a one-minute newscast with a 60-second commercial. That is what the NBC segment on Cool 101.3 sounds like.
 
The 1-minute NBC newscast has been around for a while. It's targeted at FM music stations. Not exactly sure when it was started, but it was definitely post-9/11 (the renewed interest in radio news after 9/11 was the catalyst for developing the newscast). I first heard it 3 years ago, but I know it was around before that.

The top-of-the-hour NBC newscast is indeed brand-new and replacing CNN.
 
Nothing new there except the presentation, which will change again another day.
