I believe Acquire/Newsedge Has 18 months of historical news, but I don't know if access comes as part of the standard packages.
once again(for those who never heard of it)-you can pull out news via API at IQ feed. and it's cost way lower than 1K a month
Fixed Don't disagree with you there surely not the best mainly use it just to have something on during the day. If there is something out there reasonably priced I'd love to have a look at it. Anyone ever use the Options Hawk website seems a bit pricey I think 300 a month.
Also Newsware API is one of the best and easiest to use. Comes with a complete programming guide and examples. Newsedge or Newsware are your best options. Both offer two week trials. Between $200-$400 a month depending on which news feeds you select.
