WBZ-AM is a good example of doing both:  their news stories
are about a minute-and-a-half, but from time to time one
of their contributors like Peter Meade will be allowed
to go on for longer, either as a part of a Q&A session 
or for a long disquisition (like this sentence).
Also breaking news, either from CBS/ABC or a reporter
in the field can go longer also.  News/talk stations,
whether AM or FM, are just as likely as stations that
play recordings to do a rip-and-read style 'cast;  it's just that
the news/talkers come out of the news and then pick a
subject, or as Howie Carr always puts it, a topic to
carry a half-hour or hour.
