Definition of News radio

For the television series NewsRadio, see NewsRadio.

All-news radio is available in both local and syndicated forms, and is carried in some form on both major US satellite radio networks. Some all-news stations, like KYW and WCBS, carry sports, and all-news stations may occasionally carry public affairs programs, simulcasts of TV news magazine or political affairs shows like 60 Minutes and Face the Nation. Some former all news stations, like KNX and WBZ, now run talk radio programs on weekends and during off peak hours. Most of these stations are owned by CBS Radio, and therefore are affiliated with the CBS radio network.
