So do I, and I built 'fill to the news' as a series of events every 5 seconds three minutes before the hour. Each event has a selection of timed music. Some fade in and play out, some are short selections. Got my news on the Hour, even got time pips! Took a while to construct, made a template clock, and loaded a lot of tracks in each 5 sec 'fill' cart. Every now and then I put in a few fresh tracks. 36 carts, 1-5 selections in each and random finish of last track before hour delivers variety.
