It seems the preferred radio application is Burli. ENPS is indeed an AP product 
that has become prominent in TV but has many limitations. Inews and Qnews are 
two other fairly widely used newsroom systems. There is also the XP version of 
Newsmaker which is used at two of the largest media organizations.
