Today’s news<\/a> (via the Tom Taylor newsletter) is that TRN’s America’s Radio News<\/a> (ARN) which is now doing 15 hours a day of radio news, in cooperation with the Washington Times, is going to start feeding its own “Top\/Bottom of the hour news service as an alternative to ABC \/Fox \/ CBS \/ AP \/ IRN… beginning April 2nd.<\/p>\n

Well this is an interesting development – talk about being at the right place at the right time… previously I mentioned that Dial Global (syndicator of most of the Progressive talk shows) is reviving the NBC Radio brand to create a top of the hour news service (in cooperation with NBC TV) – this in response to CNN announcing it is leaving the radio news business.<\/p>\n

I had wistfully hoped that Glenn Beck would smell the opportunity to leverage The Blaze<\/a> into a Conservative option for radio stations.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s jarring to hear Beck or Savage then the hourly news is 180 degrees the opposite of what you’ve just been listening to (maybe that’s for “balance”?)<\/p>\n

I was skeptical about ARN when it was announced, but as I’ve recently been reviewing station schedules, ARN is gaining substantial acceptance on news\/talk radio stations.\u00a0\u00a0 So the data gathering I’ve started doing over “Which radio station uses which news?” is going to become a lot more interesting to track.\u00a0 If I was a program director or station owner not of the Progressive persuasion, I would be looking seriously at the ARN news option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
