It's hard to tell if this is the story because they had so much wrong -- regardless of what story they were describing. It's the only current news item I see searching for "black holes" and "laser", two terms I know the story included. But, Paul Harvey News has fooled me before, sometimes reporting "news" that is weeks old, so maybe they were thnking of some other lab's story.
I didn't hear the story, but from the description, it sounds like this:

A story from many months ago, and, of course, doesn't involve a real black hole.
