The Dow Jones-Bunk Ramo News Retrieval (a joint venture) was first announced on December 17, 1971 and then again, almost two years later, on September 13, 1973. A 9/1973 article from WSJ article reported that the Dow Jones News-Recall service would launch in January, 1974. The service finally went live in April, 1974 with Bunker-Ramos being the charter distributor of the service. How much would it cost? $175/month + $25/per video terminal. The database offered "instantaneous recall" on over 6000 publicly trade companies. At launch, the DJN-R contained an archive of material dating back three months. Content was from the WSJ, Dow Jones News Service, and Barron's.
