Stations:

 

In response to feedback we hear from stations, we are pleased to introduce a new item for your morning newscasts: the NewsOne “Day Ahead U-Track-It.”  The “Day Ahead U-Track-It” is a weekday item that gives you a look ahead to three national stories that will be happening later that day.  We know your early morning viewers want information to help them get ready for their day ahead, and we hope the “Day Ahead U-Track-It” will help your newscast meet that need.

 

The “Day Ahead U-Track-It” will contain 3 stories happening in the day ahead.  It will run for approximately 0:45 (45 seconds).  It does NOT have any reporter track; the item will come with a script that matches the vide for your anchor or reporter to read.  It will be fed each weekday before 4:00 am ET.

 

You can search for the “Day Ahead U-Track-It” story in NewsOneNET by using the word “Ahead” in the Slug search.  Or, you can find it in the ”Features” folder.

 

An example of the “Day Ahead U-Track-It” can be found here: https://vimeo.com/341331648.  The script for this example of the “Day Ahead U-Track-It” is below. 

 

Please give us any feedback that you have on this new feature.
