That did the trick.

Removing the following HTML code from the template news_story should do the trick:

<div class="content">{$insert['newsstory_teaserimage']}{$insert['newsstory_story']}{$insert['newsstory_tags']}</div><br />

1. Great!! That did the trick. I'm getting every channel except for my "news" channel. WOO HOO!!

2. I removed the code three times, but the "story" text is still being displayed. It did remove the "News Link" and the space between it & "story" text. I went ahead and added a new article, but the "story" text is there on that one too.

1. Is there a way to limit which news channels are displayed as content on the index page? I want to use all of them except for my "News" channel feed.

No, at least not without a small modification. In the default configuration you can only exclude single stories from the front page.

A modification for the news channels would look like this. Open modules/news/news.php in an editor and add after the following:

       else

      {

         $newsstory_status = "(newsstory_status = '0' OR newsstory_status = '3')";

       }

this:

$newsstory_status .= " AND NOT(newsstory_channels LIKE '%CHANNEL_KEY%')";

You need to replace CHANNEL_KEY with the channel key of your news channel feed.

2. Is there a way to remove the "story" and "news link" section on the main and alt pages? I don't need to show the content or URL in those fields on the index or channels page, but I want them to only show only on the article's specific page.

This requires a code modification in the same file. You need to remove the following code (three times):

                              elseif( $insert[ 'newsstory_link' ] )

                             {

                                 $insert[ 'newsstory_story' ] .= $templates -> exectemplate( $main_templates[ 'news_story_link_html' ], $main_templates[ 'news_story_link_php' ], $insert );

                            }
