The concept of On-Going News is where the radio station recycles from one newscast to another. A story is rewritten to entice the listener to stay tuned for the next report.
Example:
“Yesterday we told you the story of the 3-day-old child in the Detroit hospital that was accidentally dropped down a laundry shoot. Following tests it turns out that the child has suffered some brain damage. Could such a situation happen in our area hospitals? We will look at that story and determine the safeness of our maternity wards in 30 minutes in the 8:00 o’clock report.”
The reason to present On-Going News is to create the perception that your radio station is more than rip & read in content. This is particularly important for the type of radio stations that want to bolster the news image without actually airing longer reports.
