I think AP does provide a 24/7 satellite news feed. Locally here, I think
WBET (1460, Brockton) carries it at least some of the time. Whether that is
what 870 in Gorham is carrying I don't know, but AP has given the service a
name, which you'd probably catch on the air if that's what you were hearing.
My problem is that I don't recall the name. I don't think it's AP Network
News, which I think is the service mark for the shorter newscasts.
