It is required that you lead in to some form of news programming at the end of each hour.  You do this with a standard '''news intro''':

# At XX:59:50, play the News-In jingle ''or'' at XX:58:50, play the Up to Hour jingle.  You can use the [[studio clock]] for timing; it will tell you when the intro should be started.

# At XX:59:45, play the Flagship News IN jingle.  You can use the [[studio clock]] for timing; it will tell you when the intro should be started.

#* Don't continue playing music, go into the news intro as soon as the studio clock countdown expires.  It is always more professional to stop a song early and link out of it into the news intro than going straight from the middle of a song to the intro, but some intro is better than no intro.
