The word "newscast" is the short version of "news broadcast." It refers to a summary of the most important current news stories-- it might be two minutes long, five minutes long, or even longer, depending on the station. (Some stations are "all-news," and in the course of an hour, they might offer a long block of stories that includes the top local, national, and international stories. The biggest stories will be repeated every few minutes for people who are just tuning in.) In addition to the top stories about current issues, a typical newscast usually also includes sports headlines and the weather forecast.
Almost since radio's inception in 1920, there was news on the air: the first station to broadcast regularly, 8MK in Detroit (later known as WWJ) was owned by a newspaper, and some major headlines and news stories were read to the listeners. People wanted to be informed, so radio stations began providing a few minutes of news on a regular basis. Eventually, there were entire staffs of radio reporters (and later TV reporters); and to this day, most stations will make the time to broadcast news reports, to help keep the public up-to-date.

Why are the radio and televison vauled sources of information?
Just like TV and print media, radio can be a reliable source of information if you use itproperly. That means getting the information from several different reporters, editions,programs, publications, networks, etc., and using the different reports as material tothink with. If you get all of your information from one newscast, or one newspaper,or one radio station, then you are not reliably informed. It's never acceptable to believethat "I heard it on the radio ..." or "I read it in the paper ..." so it must be true.And then there's the Internet. Among all of your possible sources of information, theInternet is the one that is least reliable if it's the only one you consult.Sorry. I wish I could make it easier for you.
Does 60Hz fall into the range of RF waves used by commercial broadcasting?
No. That would be technologically difficult, and very unwise.-- In order to transmit efficiently, the length of a transmitting antenna must be an appreciablefraction of a wavelength. The easiest to handle are 1/2-wavelength horizontal wire antennas,and 1/4-wave or 5/8-wave vertical antennas, including towers. The wavelength at 60 Hzis 5 million meters, or roughly 3,100 miles.-- With every utility power line, extension cord, toaster, and baseboard heater in North Americaradiating a small signal at 60 Hz, the interference environment for anyone trying to receivea clear newscast on a pocket portable at 60 Hz would be quite unfavorable.The lowest frequency used for commercial broadcasting in the Americas is the low endof the AM dial ... 550,000 Hz, with a wavelength of 545 meters (0.34 mile).
