The program talks about the most relevant news from Liberty City. Their broadcasts can be heard on the radio after the completion of certain missions. The news segments typically feature stories relating to the actions that Toni Cipriani has performed in the preceding mission, as well as some other "miscellaneous" stories. These bulletins play only once, but will repeat if the player gets wasted or leaves the vehicle when driving. Strangely, the news bulletins can also be heard in law enforcement vehicles.

Transcript
Reporter:
There'll be much celebrating tonight as the industrial action that brought Liberty City to a standstill has finally come to a close. Normal service has been resumed on all subway and ferry routes, even the elevator bridge linking Staunton Island to Shoreside Vale has reopened for business. Militant strikers have finally dropped their placards and taken up their usual post of employment after the freshly inaugurated mayor Donovan made them this promise at a local rally.
Miles O'Donovan:
As your mayor, I can guarantee there will always be a ferry service in Liberty City.
Reporter:

Liberty City's long-running Mafia feud is finally over after the brutal slaying today of Paulie Sindacco, head of the Sindacco Family.

Stay tuned for more here, on LCN.
It's now been confirmed that the wide-scale destruction of Fort Staunton was caused by a series of underground explosions.

It's not known at this time whether this terrible tragedy was caused by the weapons cache accidentally being ignited or if foul play was involved. Tune in later for more details on LCN.
