NVC News is produced in-house through Plotfinity. Anchor + reporter voices come from the New Vibe City Canon Talent registry — each citizen has their own trained Hume voice, used consistently across every NVC surface that calls on them.

This bulletin is the inaugural broadcast. Daily bulletins start soon. Expect rough edges — we're shipping the first cut to keep moving.
