It's not only doable, it's trivial. C news leaves the incoming batches
in /usr/spool/news/in.coming. You set up a cron job that unbatches
the news.
I currently unbatch news at 20 minutes past each hour, but I could
easily change this to only unbatch once a day.
Note that you will probably want to unbatch *after* you expire.
