NEW YORK — Radio Network News (RNN), a premier independent national news service, has officially launched in the United States using the NewsCloud platform.
NewsCloud is a modern newsroom efficiency and productivity tool created by Radio.Cloud. The cloud-based platform provides a central hub for journalists and anchors to write, localize, produce, and distribute newscasts at scale.
“Our goal from day one was to move away from the traditional, harsh, compressed sound of legacy wire services,” said Dan Warren, Founder of Radio Network News. “We wanted to bring a modern, authoritative, high-end news podcast aesthetic to commercial radio—something that stands completely on its own two feet. By partnering with NewsCloud, our anchors can deliver that premium, intimate sound while dynamically adapting the content so it feels hyper-local and immediately relevant to every single affiliate market we serve”.
“NewsCloud actually predates Radio.Cloud and is used by some of the biggest networks in Europe,” Radio.Cloud account director Andrew Scaglione said. “With the end of CBS News Radio, we’re excited to step in and provide RNN with all the tools to offer custom, local newscasts to stations.”
NewsCloud empowers one anchor to produce hundreds of different versions of a newscast each hour, and send out those newscasts in a matter of seconds. The technology enables much more productivity and efficiency than previously possible, allowing journalists to serve listeners with updated and relevant news specific to their locale every hour.
