i've used the leafnode package (www.leafnode.org). it's simple and designed for your situation (small # of users at the bottom of the news hierarchy--it gets news using the same protocol, NNTP, as your news reader). there are other such simple news servers. the key issue for you if you use this approach will be getting access to a news feed with the groups you want. in the past, there were pay services for this; i'm not sure what the situation is like now.
