Hi, All! I submitted to this breaking news cue last month or so and I'm confused on the structure they were asking for in the listing. These are the 3 examples of tracks they gave:

I made a cue that basically looped the same 15 second progression over and over. The first video above does this if you listen, so I thought I may be ok. But the other two videos have more dynamics happening. Long of the short, for news cues, do you have to include those piercing transition sounds (Video 1, 0:04) and the ending news sounds (Video 1, 1:02-1:06) as part of your cue track, or does the news network add those in?

Thanks!

I was going to submit to this, but ran out of time. I would read it as most. Give them several 15 second options. In other words, don't take the example literally. Hope that make sense.
