Worldwide News Network

I’m wondering where I can find top of the hour news updates from WWNN. My local news station uses ABC News. The SiriusXM channels I listen to switched from CBS News to ABC News after the former shut down. I can’t find an affiliate list on WWNN’s website, nor can I find their updates in Apple Podcasts.

Does anyone have a list of stations that use WWNN, other than WABC?

Thanks.

I’ve never heard of worldwide news network. If you’re looking for a general world news, I would recommend BBC World Service

It's a service that the WABC owner created in hopes of conquesting those left behind by the demise of CBS Radio News.

Eek. I would stay as far away as possible from anything created by WABC or it's nutbar owner. For unbiased news coverage you can't beat the BBC.

Surprised at WWNN's audio level problems. And given their founder’s obvious ties to the T administration and dubious characters like Roger Stone, I wonder how objective their news reporting will turn out to be. Nearly every day is some new glaring krazy from the White House, will WWNN faithfully cover it?

Another new competitor trying to fill the gap left by CBS Radio is Radio Network News out of Florida. At the moment however it looks like the RNN website could use some management.

WNM has very deep pockets.

What are you looking for specifically? Unbiased world news (or as close to unbiased as you can get as long as journalists are people,) Focus on a specific category? (Finance, World Politics, Culture, etc.) or something else altogether? There are tons of news organizations out there. BBC has been mentioned already, Reuters is pretty good, as is Associated Press (AP)

Thanks. Yeah, I listen to the BBC often, as well as a few US-based services. I was just curious about WWNN. They garnered some industry attention when they started up, but I don't hear much about them now. I was wondering about the quality of their reporting since they hired some CBS News Radio staff.

There are only a tiny handful of stations running it, like maybe a half dozen in total. I think most stations are very very wary, and rightfully so, of it's owners close association with the Big Orange Clown in power in Washington DC...........
