Format
Similar to its competitor, NY1, FiOS1's rolling news block starts with a brief summary of the day's top stories. Every 10 minutes on the 1's, "Weather on the 1's" is aired, which contains weather conditions around the area and on Rush hour, traffic updates are shown after the weather. Another brief summer is also aired about five mintues before every half hour. FiOS 1 airs full news, weather, and traffic summaries every weekday from 5 AM to 10 AM, 12 PM, 1 PM to 2:30, at the top of the hour from 3 to 4 PM, and again at 5 to 6 PM and 10 to 11:30 PM.
A Majority of the stories are pre-recorded, even segments are recorded as if they're recorded live. However, if the story is breaking, a live indicator is added. Sports reports are also featured in a daily basis during its rolling block of news.
