Surely not beyond the realms of possibility to centralise that is it?
You have to remember that each of those stations will deliver there news in different styles according to the listener demographic.

However, I believe that is one thing they are, indeed, looking at doing.

Not the first time I have had that book recommended when discussing this subject.

Someone I know of (on the DS forums) who is a freelancer, tells how some commercial stations get their news stories from the BBC website!!

Funnily enough, that's not the first time (or second or third!) that I have read that comment too
