All News Channel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All News Channel was a 24-hour news channel carried mainly on DirecTV (and before that USSB which was folded into DirecTV in 1999). All News Channel (ANC) had also been syndicated to network television afflliates in the United States.

Many local television stations carried All News Channel programming during the overnight time periods in lieu of going off the air. In addition, since ANC newscasts never contained any copyrighted music (by design), stations broadcasting the ANC feed could stay on the air longer without increasing their ASCAP, Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI), and/or SESAC fees.

ANC was based in St. Paul, Minnesota and was co-owned by Viacom and Hubbard Broadcasting. This parnership was called CONUS Communications and included a news video-sharing service for local TV stations. Nearly all of ANC's video came from these stations. CONUS also maintained a small bureau in Washington, DC.

ANC was the first nationwide challenger to CNN since the Satellite News Channel folded in 1983. But the station was never profitable and could not withstand the challenges of MSNBC and Fox News Channel, which pushed ANC to fourth place in its category.

ANC, which was founded in 1989 [1], ceased broadcasts in 2004.
