It can be heard around the clock in 15-minute cycles with the latest news, sports and other features. It uses the slogan "The news you want, when you want it."<ref>[https://www.iheart.com/live/nbc-news-radio-6043/ iHeart.com/live/NBC-News-Radio]</ref> It also supplies hourly newscasts to subscribing radio stations. While it is not owned by NBCUniversal itself, NBC News Radio features reports from NBC News [[correspondent]]s, presented by anchors who are iHeartMedia employees. It is also provided to NBC's 24/7 News Source radio station [[network affiliate|affiliates]] as a service, including one-minute and two-minute hourly newscasts along with other audio content, such as features on money, health, politics and sports, heard on over 1,000 radio stations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.insideradio.com/nbc-news-iheart-partner-on-news-network/article_f2df5c76-4785-11e6-b665-a7716dddc8e4.html|title=NBC News, iHeart Partner on 24/7 News Network.|date=July 11, 2016 }}</ref> [[WOR (AM)|WOR]] in [[New York City]] serves as NBC News Radio's [[flagship (broadcasting)|flagship]].<ref>{{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027180128/http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/wor-enhances-its-partnership-with-nbc-news_b44299|archivedate=October 27, 2011|title=WOR Enhances Its Partnership With NBC News|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/wor-enhances-its-partnership-with-nbc-news_b44299|last=Barmash|first=Jerry|work=Fishbowl NY|date=October 6, 2011|accessdate=June 6, 2022|url-status=dead}}</ref> The current NBC News Radio digital station is NBC's first step into the all-news radio format since the closure of its ephemeral '''NBC News & Information Service (NIS)''' was heard on radio stations across the U.S. from 1975 to 1977.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fadedsignals.com/post/63776466378/nbc-launched-the-nbc-news-and-information-service|title=Faded Signals|website=Faded Signals|date=October 11, 2013 |access-date=April 29, 2020}}</ref> The service was not profitable for NBC and was discontinued after two years. The original major [[NBC Radio Network]] was purchased by [[Westwood One (1976–2011)|Westwood One]] a decade later, in 1987, as [[General Electric]], which had acquired NBC's parent company [[RCA]], divested most properties not pertaining to the NBC television network, thus ending its direct participation in the radio business. NBC Radio Network's news operation was merged into the [[Mutual Broadcasting System]], then into Westwood One's then-corporate sibling [[CBS Radio]], and eventually assimilated into the syndicator itself. For years,{{Specify |reason=Since when? How many? Needs a source--with specific dates--at least years. |date=December 2021}} Westwood One has carried on syndicating several NBC-branded shows to affiliate radio stations, including audio versions of current-affairs NBC TV shows such as ''[[Meet the Press]]'', a practice that continues to date.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.westwoodone.com/programming/news/programs/meet-the-press/|title=Meet the Press|website=Westwood One|language=en-US|access-date=April 29, 2020}}</ref> As for ''hard news'' programming, Westwood One used to provide an homonymous ''NBC News Radio'' service, which was initially limited to a feed of one-hour reports updated from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET offered to subscriber local stations. [[Dial Global]] –which has branded itself ''Westwood One'' since 2013– announced on March 5, 2012, its aim to expand NBC News Radio to a full-time 24-hour radio news network, replacing [[CNN Radio]] (that itself replaced both NBC Radio and Mutual in 1999). The original NBC News Radio service was eventually discontinued on December 14, 2014. That coincided with the launch of the new, [[White-label product|white-label]] [[Westwood One News]] service.<ref name="rw-nbcnrww1end">{{cite news|url=https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/westwood-one-to-drop-nbc-news-radio|title=Westwood One to Drop NBC News Radio|date=October 16, 2014|work=[[Radio World]]|access-date=January 9, 2020}}</ref> It used content from [[WarnerMedia]]'s [[CNN]] but was discontinued in 2019.
