Using audio from CNN reports and correspondents, and anchored by Cumulus employees, it provided radio stations with hourly newscasts as well as voiced reports that could be individually used by member stations.

Unlike most radio networks, the programming was unbranded as a "white-label" service with no mention of either Westwood One or CNN.

The anchors and correspondents simply gave their names without saying what service they worked for.

Cumulus also replaced the former NBC News Radio service previously distributed by the original Westwood One network, which was acquired under the "Dial Global" name in 2012.
