For years, 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. 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, coinciding with the launch of the new, white-label Westwood One News service, which uses content and human resources from WarnerMedia's CNN instead of those of NBC News.
