I am not sure what you mean by "on call." But many news reporters, whether working for a newspaper or for radio and TV, are expected to cover breaking news; that means their editors need to keep in touch with them and be able to reach them (by phone, by text message, etc) if something important is happening. Being a newscaster is not a 9 to 5 job. Anchors like NBC's Brian Williams or ABC's David Muir generally just read the news at certain fixed times (like 6.30 pm); but at other times, even they may be sent out on assignment to cover a story. However, it is usually the reporters, rather than the anchors, who are expected to go wherever the story takes them, whether it's daytime or evening. So, in that sense, you could say they are on call, because their station may contact them and tell them to hurry into the office on a weekend or a holiday or at 2 AM, if a major news story breaks.
