CNN to MP3
A report as audio, at a tenth of the size.

News is the obvious case for audio
A news segment is almost entirely speech over footage you have already understood in the first five seconds. As an MP3 it is a fraction of the size and plays with the screen off, which is the whole reason to take it that way.
128 kbps is plenty for a spoken report. Higher bitrates only matter when there is music or ambience you care about.
