I think they all get their breaking news via Reuters or AP?

Probably a whole lot more than that. Any decent trading desk has those, plus Bloomberg and Dow Jones wire services. So in a media control room, I would imagine they would also have AFP, and who knows what else.

Sadly, nobody at the news networks would know if their own ass was on fire unless the AP wire told them so first.
