“My leadership has always been, people come to me and say, ‘Hey, I’ve got this idea,’ and I just say, ‘Do it.' If it doesn’t work, then we just move on."

Lee Harris is out at Worldwide News Network, and the fledgling network now faces its first real test of leadership stability. Barrett Media broke...

Harris joined 77 WABC and Worldwide News Network in May to help launch the new audio news operation following the end of CBS News Radio.

“WWNN is not simply filling the gap left by the demise of the CBS Radio Network. We’re building something stronger and more relevant for today’s audience."

"The whole world is a really big thing to cram into just three minutes at the top of that cast. There's a lot of decision-making that has to happen about what we're covering and how much time we're giving to each story, because you don't have a whole lot of time to do it. But that's kind of the fun part of it."

"This is the first step in building an international network of partners who value trusted, high-quality radio journalism.”

"The commitment to real reporting, factual journalism, and delivering breaking news without agenda is what drew me to this opportunity."

"Lee is a game-changing talent. His ability to build winning content, lead high-performing teams, and understand what audiences want is second to none."

"People often assume that a cloud product isn't closely connected to traditional broadcasting. We can run everything in the cloud, but whenever you want to use hardware, we can integrate with virtually any traditional broadcast equipment."

"It has been super customized for our operation and will allow us to provide a level of service to affiliates that no other network has ever been able to provide. Our new staff was able to master NewsCloud very quickly.”
