A  group of former network news correspondents and producers recently started the daily news organization and is delivering the news that want to deliver.

"Quick Hits News" features 5 or 6 correspondents who exchange reporting with each other "live" from their home studios, Each show is usually under 15 minutes and covers the top 10-12 stories across the U.S. and around the globe. T
