type of news
La noticia es el formato más utilizado en todas las cadenas, aunque también destaca el uso de colas leídas por los presentadores y cubiertas con imágenes; y los directos, sobre todo, en la cadena pública que envió un equipo de periodista, cámara y sonido para cubrir el acontecimiento a bordo.

: Official definition of "cola" by the Spanish national broadcaster TVE: COLAS: Emisión de noticias en las que el presentador introduce su voz en directo desde el estudio mientras se emiten las imágenes.. I think "voiceover" fits. "

: Correct definition. I think, "voiceover" is okay (unless there´s something more "technical").

And here another glossary of broadcasting terms:

I was also thinking of "stand-up" as a possible option, but no, I believe "voiceover" is on the right track. Best of luck.
And by the way, "voice-over" should be the right spelling of the term rather than the non-hyphenated version I normally use :-(
