http://www.radio-info.com/news/news-about-all-news-cnn-radio-news-to-end-nbc-news-radio-to-debutRadio-Info.com has learned that affiliates of CNN Radio News are being told by Dial Global that "as of Sunday, April 1, CNN Radio News will no longer be distributed by Dial Global and will not be produced for U.S. radio distribution." CNN Radio News, produced in Atlanta, was available on a non-exclusive basis, and most of those affiliates will transition over to the service that was announced this morning: NBC News Radio.
... Elizabeth O'Connell is announced as the Executive Producer for NBC News Radio. It will use the talent of both NBC and MSNBC, and is also hiring editors, producers and anchors.

The new 24/7 NBC News Radio network will feature top NBC News journalists. The Executive Producer is Elizabeth O'Connell. As part of the move, CNN Radio News will no longer distribute news product in radio. Launching 4/1, NBC News Radio network will offer hourly, half-hourly, continuous breaking news and live coverage.
It will be distributed to radio stations nationwide by Dial Global and will give those stations access to the global resources of NBC News including: live simulcasts of breaking news from NBC and MSNBC, and reports from top NBC News correspondents including NBC News Political Director and Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski, Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell, Chief Justice Department Correspondent Pete Williams and Senior Investigative Correspondent Lisa Myers. NBC News Radio will also feature Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor of "NBC Nightly News" and David Gregory, host of "Meet the Press."
"This alliance presents NBC News an opportunity to deliver our high-quality journalism to even more news consumers across the country through the expansive Dial Global network," said NBC News President Steve Capus. "NBC News is already America's number-one news network now, through this new 24-hour radio news channel we can further expand our unparalleled reach and audience."
