Each week the AFRTS NewsCenter located in Alexandria, VA, produces 11 radio and 5 television military news reports. These reports provide service members with timely information on defense missions, policies and programs.spotsThe television reports are inserted throughout the day in the CNN Headline News program which is broadcast over the AFRTS network.
