Hi,
Was wondering what news feeds are available to part 15 stations? I tried going to the quality news network site but the site is not in english.

If someone could give me an english link or another news site that would be great.

Here are three links to the FSN news service.
I used QNN for a long time but their facility was flooded out in a major storm and they never went back on the web.
FSN only asks that you advise them that you are using their newscasts. At least that was the case when I started using their service.
Their new web site is HERE.
Here at FSN, we're definitely happy to help any LPFM station seeking hourly news. The company's main website is www.featurestorynews.com, but we've also established a microsite for LPFM broadcasters: www.lpfmnews.net
In order to defray the costs of producing our service, we ask stations to sign up (via Paypal) for a monthly $15 subscription. That buys you access to our 30-second, 3-minute and 5-minute updates...and our Week in Review broadcast for use at weekends.
If anyone has any questions, they're welcome to e-mail me directly at [email protected]. We've been working with the LPFM community for about 5 years now, and truly value the relationships we've developed with stations across the country.
Regards
Simon Marks

It seems they have changed download addresses again,the above ones are obsolete,again. I wish they would have posted the update here,but like last time they did not. Here is their alert page...
http://www.featurestorynews.com/
I just tried the 30 second 'cast and it worked. The 5 minute link also worked.
I use WGET and a Windows Scheduler macro to delete the old file before downloading the new one and it hasn't skipped a beat yet.
The links are working but it appears the newscasts are not being updated. At least, it seems the stories have been the same for several days now.
Has anyone had experience with CNN or AP?
Why use a news source that anybody can already get? How about non-mainstream news?
These two newscasts are top quality non-main stream newscasts available free.
Free Speech Radio News is produced at the Pacifica Network by a very serious team of reporters and correspondents, and they will link your station on their website if you notify them.

Travis T. Hipp presents a daily 2-piece set consisting of a 5-minute newscast and a commentary from his "Cabale News Service" in his desert home in Nevada, as broadcast over several California and Nevada public stations. His work is Creative Commons.
Both sources are Monday through Friday.
The Liberty Beat is a newscast, 5-minute daily, Monday through Friday, news service available free.
I have been trying it out and like it very much.
See what you think
This worth reviving an old thread over..
Some guy made the following post at the 'Internet Radio Broadcasting' facebook page (
)...
"Voice of America offers 5-minute hourly newscasts for free, international in scope. Listen via the link at http//:www.voanews.com , contact [email protected] for licensing details."
I followed the link and listened, Their news broadcast sounds really good, and I don't hear any slants - just the world news. I hope this guy is right! At the moment I'm looking over their "Usage Requet" page here: http://www.insidevoa.com/info/usage-request/4178.html
You might want to take a listen and check it out yourself as well. http://www.voanews.com
About a week ago I found a new 5-minute daily 7-day a week newscast from FPP (Free Press Publications), along with some other good little reports as well. I've been carrying it ever since.
ALSO
I found the link to hourly 5-minute NPR Newscasts
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=500005
Do either of those indicate permissions to rebroadcast?
The FPP is free for the taking from lrn.fm (Liberty Radio Network, home of Free Talk Live the talk show, also free).
NPR is another story. I do not know their policy, and this feed is only an RSS type page. What we should do is go to their main website and hunt around.
I requested the "agreement" to use VOA productions. My initial impression of the "agreement" is they would rather not have the "domestic" audience listening.
The "agreement" is typically confusing with questions that seem to be somewhat convoluted.
I'll never understand how something that is freely available to anyone cannot be rebroadcast without authorization.
For the curious, a link to the AGREEMENT.
