All-news radio is available in both local and syndicated forms, and is carried in some form on both major US satellite radio networks. Some all-news stations, like KFWB and WCBS, carry sports, and all-news stations may occasionally carry public affairs programs, simulcasts of news magazine shows like 60 Minutes. Some former all news stations, like KNX and WBZ, now run talk radio programs on weekends and during off peak hours. Most of these stations are owned by Infinity Broadcasting, and are affiliated with the CBS radio network.

Many stations brand themselves Newsradio but only run continuous news during the morning and afternoon drive times. These stations are properly labeled as "news/talk" talk radio stations. Also, some National Public Radio stations identify themselves as News and Information stations, which means that in addition to running the NPR news magazines like Morning Edition and All Things Considered, they run other information programs such as Day to Day, Talk of the Nation, and the BBC World Service.
