I understand this problem, having experienced the same phenomenon
myself.  Unfortunately, I have, at different times of the evening,
scanned both the AM and FM dials to little avail.

Off the top of my head, the only possible suggestion I can offer (if I
remember correctly) is WHRL at 103.1FM.  I know they at least used to
faithfully broadcast at least national news faithfully on the hour at
all hours of the day.  I can't recall if all of these included a local
news segment; I think they may have.

Anyhow, good luck in your search.
