The problem
Off-the-shelf feeds end cold. No imaging. Listeners hear “network,” not your call letters — especially at :00 when P1s are still in the car.
Global hourly news for radio
Professional Global News.
Ends with Your Station Sound.
Every hourly newscast closes with your custom audio tag — host intro or station ID — so national and world news drops into your clock like it was produced in-house.
Built for Program Directors · Overnight entry · Full 24/7 when you’re ready
Demo · Top of hour
Sample newscast + custom host tag
Listen for the handoff: global news → your custom tag → next host / station ID. (Placeholder tones until your production demo is uploaded.)
Program Directors already know the tradeoff
Generic wires sound like everyone else. Full newsrooms cost a fortune. Overnight still has to sound like your station — not a network dump.
The cost trap
Big wires and full staff aren’t realistic for every market. You still need a clean hourly that fits automation and doesn’t embarrass the brand.
The fix
Professional global content, clocked for radio, ending every hour with your custom tag — overnight first, full 24/7 when you’re ready.
The differentiator
The Custom Tag Advantage
National and world news is only half the product. The money is in the last five seconds: a custom open that names your host or your station so the hour feels owned — not syndicated.

FAQ
- Can we use our own voice for the tag?
- Yes. Send VO from your talent or imaging producer. We can also cast a VO that matches your market’s tone.
- How fast is tag production?
- Typical first tag: within a few business days after script approval. Pro Multi-Tag customers get priority queues for daypart updates.
- Does it work with our automation?
- If you can schedule an MP3 or FTP ingest on a clock, you’re covered. We’ll match filename conventions where possible.
- Why start with Overnight?
- Lowest risk. Prove that the tag handoff and levels work on your chain overnight, then expand to full 24/7 without re-contracting a wire.
