America?s News Network has announced the launch of a second radio news network ? this second all news network will be short-form news, featuring a top and bottom of the hour news service on a 24/7 basis as a complement to the long-form news from America?s Radio News Network. ?ARNN short-form? will also feature special reports, and hard hitting breaking news.
America's News Network CEO Mark Masters (pictured) said, "ARNN?s new top-and bottom-of-the-hour news features now means that our rapidly growing family of network affiliates will no longer have to break away from our existing ARNN long-form news blocks to hear that hour's top breaking national and international news stories. Bottom line, ARNN is now the complete ?go-to? radio news network for urgent breaking newscasts on the hour and half-hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, along with our intriguing and diverse lineup of newsmaker interviews in addition to our large array of 3 hour long-form weekday news blocks our listeners enjoy each weekday.?
ARNN Executive Vice President for News John McCaslin says, ??Journalism Without Agenda? is not just a marketing phrase at America?s Radio News ? it?s a code we live by ? and the marketplace has responded so strongly to our long-form all news product that the second news network of our short-form top and bottom of the hour news (plus audio actualities, special reports, news maker interviews etc?) was a natural outgrowth of this demand. We are honored to be the fastest growing brand in news radio. We truly are ?Journalism Without Agenda?. This is something stations not only deeply appreciate, but have a need for like never before.?
America?s Radio News combined with America?s Morning News now has over 275 affiliations and is heard daily 15 hours-a-day, 5 days-a-week and has resulted in many full format flips to all news, weekdays M-F. The new 24/7 top and bottom of the hour news network will begin April 2nd.
