Where can I find an "audio CNN"?
May 10, 2017 6:51 PM   Subscribe

I'd like to find a streaming audio source for current US news that functions pretty much the same as CNN does - scheduled live programs or breaking news featuring extended discussion on recent events. I know there's a ton of news talk stations out there, but I'd like to find one that I can tune into frequently, knowing I'll almost always hear informed hosts and guests discussing the news of the day. Note: I'm not a huge fan of CNN, but I do like how nimble they can be when a story breaks.

The NPR Program Stream would be a good choice.

Oh, and of course, CNN Radio. You can find the stream here.

You can listen to CNN, MSNBC, and some others via the TuneIn website and TuneIn app.

Response by poster: I didn't know CNN Radio existed - I would have liked it, but it's now gone. I was aware of BBC and NPR, but they mostly offer streams of previously aired segments. What I'm looking for is preferably live programming.

Voice of America?

Beware, Voice of America is not an independent news outlet. It is part of the government, and Trump has already started appointing people there. I would not count on it as a trustworthy source.
