   * **Interviews** - Astro News frequently invites guests to their station to be interviewed. Whether it's in person, via camera drone, or digital linkage, there's rarely a dull moment in a lively interview.
   * **Advertisements** - Interspersed between songs and other features is advertisement. Grants and community donations don't cover all the costs, unfortunately.

   * **Mia Kondo** - A Hagblood woman in her thirties, having risen into the company from a university intern program during her twenties. A more laid back voice who generally does the interviews with the arts, entertainment and pop-cultural aspects of the news. Her voice is much more soft and laid back compared to the energetic Dexter. She has many interesting and colourful stories about the places she has seen in Sargasso's party and arts scenes. Stories that might make your parents blush.
-  * **Officer Donald Ferris, Retired** - An Oddbody expatriate from [[society/kingdom_of_albion|Albion]] in his sixties and a Royal Planetary Defence Navy veteran whose body content is over fifty percent artificial. Donald can best be described as 'charged' in an interview. For newshe handles coverage and about severe or distressing events like wars, assassinations, military movements, and crime. Occasionally, the man softens to share an anecdote or two about his hobbies in gardening or gunsmithing, or war stories leading to how he is mostly artificial, Many of these stories are embellished, but common grain of truth is the loss of limb or two.

   * **VoiceProcess 12 (VP-12)** - A mobile personal computer box with arms and legs, usually seated in their own room in the Astro News offices away from the rest of the communications infrastructure. VP-12's initial purpose was to be an artificially generated voice in case a host couldn't present, but they grew beyond their programming and the team at the time rolled with the new development. They appear to be self-conscious enough to disclaim their artificial nature upon first tuning in unless they're scheduled for a graveyard shifts themselves. Late-night listeners and staff don't mind the occasionally imperfect and stilted delivery, and call them 'Veep Veep' or 'Veepers Peepers'.
